Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) image sensor module including: an oscillator configured to output a distortion-compensated oscillation frequency as a driving voltage of a sine wave biased with a bias voltage; an optical shutter configured to vary transmittance of reflective light reflected from a subject, according to the driving voltage, and to modulate the reflective light into at least two optical modulation signals having different phases; and an image generator configured to generate image data about the subject, the image data including depth information that is calculated based on a difference between the phases of the at least two optical modulation signals.
