Abstract: A micro-lens array is provided. The micro-lens array includes a transparent substrate, a plurality of polarizers disposed on the transparent substrate, a passivation layer covering the plurality of polarizers, and a plurality of micro-lenses disposed on the passivation layer, wherein light reflected to an object passes through the transparent substrate, and then, is polarized based on a plurality of different polarization orientations formed by the plurality of polarizers and is incident on the plurality of micro-lenses.

Abstract: A microlens array for obtaining a multi-focus plenoptic image includes a first individual microlens array where first microlenses having one focus distance are arranged on a first substrate, a second individual microlens array where second microlenses having the same or different focus distances are arranged on a second substrate, the second individual microlens array being stacked on the first individual microlens array having the same or different focus distances, and a third individual microlens array where third microlenses having the same or different focus distances are arranged on a third substrate, the third individual microlens array being stacked on the second individual microlens array. As seen in a plane, an array form of the first to third microlenses are configured with two microlenses, which are spaced apart from each other by an interval corresponding to one microlens in a vertical axis and a horizontal axis, on one of the first to third substrates.

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.
