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.

Abstract: Provided is a tunable electro-optic filter including a reflective structure including a first reflective layer including a first pattern layer having a first meta-surface structure disposed on a first side of the liquid crystal layer and a second reflective layer including a second pattern layer having a second meta-surface structure disposed on a second side of the liquid crystal layer. Each of the first meta-surface structure and the second meta-surface structure includes multiple dielectric materials which are alternately stacked, and a thickness of each dielectric material gradually increases. Alternately, the tunable electro-optic filter may include a pattern layer having a meta-surface structure disposed on at least a side of the liquid crystal layer.
