Abstract: At least one example embodiment discloses an image sensor with an improved light utilization efficiency based on reflective color filters. Since the image sensors may use most of an incident light for forming an image by using reflective color filters, light loss due to light absorption may be reduced. Therefore, light utilization efficiency of the image sensors may be improved while embodying color purity.

Abstract: Color separation devices, and image sensors including the color separation devices and color filters, include at least two transparent bars that face each other with a gap therebetween. Mutually-facing surfaces of the at least two transparent bars are separated from each other by the gap such that the at least two transparent bars allow diffraction of visible light passing therebetween. The at least two transparent bars have a refractive index greater than a refractive index of a surrounding medium.

Abstract: An image sensor, and an apparatus and method of acquiring an image by using the image sensor are provided. The image sensor includes a color filter having an array of a plurality of types of color filter elements, where each of the color filter elements transmits visible light in a certain wavelength band and blocks visible light outside the certain wavelength band; a photoelectric conversion cell array that detects light that has been transmitted through the color filter; and a modulator, disposed on the photoelectric conversion cell array, which changes a rate of light transmitted to the photoelectric conversion cell array based on an applied voltage.
