Image capturing module
View Patent ↗An image capturing module includes a light filter, a meta-lens layer, and a photosensitive element. The light filter includes a light receiving surface and a light emitting surface opposite to each other. The meta-lens layer and the light filter are disposed side by side with each other. The meta-lens layer includes a light transmitting film and a plurality of microstructures. Each microstructure is arranged on the light transmitting film. The photosensitive element includes a photosensitive surface. The photosensitive surface faces to the meta-lens layer and the light emitting surface of the light filter, wherein the photosensitive surface has a plurality of pixels, and each pixel corresponds to each microstructure.
1. An image capturing module, comprising:
a light filter, comprising a light receiving surface and a light emitting surface opposite to each other;
a meta-lens layer, disposed side by side with the light filter, wherein the meta-lens layer comprises a light transmitting film and a plurality of microstructures, and the plurality of microstructures are arranged on the light transmitting film; and
a photosensitive element, comprising a photosensitive surface, the photosensitive surface faces to the meta-lens layer and the light emitting surface of the light filter, wherein
the plurality of pixels comprise a visible light sensing pixel and an infrared light sensing pixel;
the photosensitive surface has a plurality of pixels, the plurality of pixels respectively correspond to the plurality of microstructures;
the plurality of microstructures of the meta-lens layer comprise a first microstructure and a second microstructure, the first microstructure corresponds to the visible light sensing pixel, the second microstructure corresponds to the infrared light sensing pixel, and the first microstructure is different from the second microstructure; and
when an external light enters the light transmitting film of the meta-lens layer, the external light focuses on the visible light sensing pixel through the first microstructure and focuses on the infrared light sensing pixel through the second microstructure.
2. The image capturing module according to claim 1 , wherein the light filter comprises a visible light filter, an infrared light filter, or a combination thereof.
3. The image capturing module according to claim 1 , wherein the meta-lens layer is located between the light emitting surface of the light filter and the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive element.
4. The image capturing module according to claim 1 , wherein the light filter is located between the meta-lens layer and the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive element.
5. The image capturing module according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one lens, wherein the light filter and the meta-lens layer are located between the at least one lens and the photosensitive element, and the at least one lens corresponds to the photosensitive element.
6. The image capturing module according to claim 5 , wherein the meta-lens layer is located between the light receiving surface of the light filter and the at least one lens.
7. The image capturing module according to claim 1 , wherein a distance is maintained between the meta-lens layer and the photosensitive element.
