Abstract:
The present disclosure can effectively improve an angular image resolution and a spatial image resolution compared to the related art by solving a problem of a plenoptic image based on a microlens array according to the related art. In the case of the microlens array according to the related art, microlenses having different numerical apertures (NAs) and F # (F numbers) or focal lengths are positioned on one substrate. However, in the present disclosure, two or more microlens arrays having different NAs and F # are stacked in a layer form (all the microlenses of each microlens array are formed in the same F # and the same NA) to allow various F # and various NAs to be implemented, and thus an image of an object is formed on a sensor plane at different positions. Accordingly, a spatial resolution and a depth resolution increase.
