IMAGING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18579741 titled 'IMAGING DEVICE

The imaging device described in the patent application consists of multiple components including filters, photoelectric conversion sections, and mediums with varying refractive indices.

  • The first filter has a higher refractive index for entering light, while the second filter has a lower refractive index and is adjacent to the first filter.
  • Photoelectric conversion is performed on light transmitted through both filters by the first and second photoelectric conversion sections respectively.
  • A first medium with a third refractive index is located on the opposite side of the first photoelectric conversion section, while a second medium with a fourth refractive index higher than the third is located on the opposite side of the second photoelectric conversion section.

Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in digital cameras, smartphones, and other imaging devices to improve image quality and performance. - Medical imaging equipment could benefit from this innovation by enhancing the accuracy and clarity of diagnostic images.

Problems Solved: - The device addresses issues related to light transmission and photoelectric conversion efficiency, leading to better image capture and processing.

Benefits: - Improved image quality and resolution. - Enhanced performance in low light conditions. - Increased accuracy in color reproduction.

Commercial Applications: The technology could be applied in the development of advanced cameras for professional photographers, medical imaging devices for hospitals and clinics, and surveillance systems for security purposes.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the variation in refractive indices of the filters and mediums impact the overall performance of the imaging device? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in mass-produced consumer electronics?


Original Abstract Submitted

An imaging device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first filter having a first refractive index for entering light, a first photoelectric conversion section that performs photoelectric conversion on light transmitted through the first filter, a second filter that has a second refractive index lower than the first refractive index for entering light and is adjacent to the first filter, a second photoelectric conversion section that performs photoelectric conversion on light transmitted through the second filter, a first medium that is provided on an opposite side of the first photoelectric conversion section as viewed from the first filter and has a third refractive index for entering light, and a second medium that is provided on an opposite side of the second photoelectric conversion section as viewed from the second filter and has a fourth refractive index higher than the third refractive index for entering light.
