ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING CAMERA MODULE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18324325 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING CAMERA MODULE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with a lens assembly, image sensor, and processor.

  • The electronic device includes a lens assembly that captures light and an image sensor that converts the light into an electrical signal.
  • The image sensor has multiple unit pixels, each consisting of a micro-lens and at least two subpixels.
  • The processor is connected to the image sensor and processes the electrical signals to generate an image.
  • The processor acquires multiple electrical signals from the subpixels and calculates the ratio between them.
  • Based on the calculated ratio, the processor determines if flare (unwanted light) is caused by refraction or reflection of the captured light.


Original Abstract Submitted

An aspect of the disclosure provides an electronic device. The electronic device may include a lens assembly, an image sensor including multiple unit pixels configured to convert the light passed through the lens assembly into an electrical signal, and a processor electrically connected to the image sensor to output an image based on the electrical signal. At least one unit pixel included in the multiple unit pixels includes a micro-lens and at least two subpixels formed to correspond to the micro-lens, and the processor is configured to acquire multiple electrical signals from the at least two subpixels, identify a ratio of the multiple electrical signals, and determine, based on the identified ratio, whether flare is generated due to refraction or reflection of the light.
