Abstract:
A camera device includes an image sensor including a pixel array and a logic circuit, with the camera device further comprising an optical module that includes a plurality of lenses arranged in a path of travel of light incident on the image sensor. The pixel array includes a plurality of pixels having a general pixel, a first autofocus pixel and a second autofocus pixel, and at least one of the plurality of lenses has an edge that extends in a first direction. A height of an upper surface of the microlens, included in the first autofocus pixel, is different from a height of an upper surface of the microlens included in the second autofocus pixel.
