Image Sensor Having Micro Lenses Arranged in Different Ratios According to Left Side and Right Side Ratios

摘要

There is provided an image sensor having micro lenses of which pitches decrease by different ratios according to left side and right side ratios, which are arranged in different ratios according to upper side and right side ratios, and of which pitches in the edge area are equal to a pixel pitch to arrange the micro lenses in a predetermined interval, thereby capable of preventing ambient sensitivity from deteriorating and suppressing crosstalk.;There is also provided an image sensor having micro lenses arranged in different ratios according to left side, right side, upper side and lower side ratios, which has photodiodes arranged in a predetermined interval and micro lenses for overlapping upper portions of the photodiodes to focus light thereon, wherein the micro lenses, in a first area (which is an area from the center area of the photodiodes to before the edge area), are arranged in predetermined shift ratios according to a distance to +X and −X directions or/and +Y and −Y directions and, in a second area (the edge area), are arranged in a shift ratio equal to a shift ratio of the last pixel of the first area.;Accordingly, the smaller pixel size become, the less the photodiodes take their area. Besides, the lower the heights of the micro lenses are, the more the angle of light incident on the photodiodes increases. As a result, it is possible to reduce crosstalk and increase an ambient light.
