Ultrathin, Fully Packaged, High-Resolution Camera

The unique structures of biological vision systems in nature inspired scientists to design ultracompact imaging systems. Researchers have now developed an ultracompact camera that captures high-contrast and high-resolution images. Fully packaged with micro-optical elements such as inverted micro-lenses, multilayered pinhole arrays, and gap spacers on the image sensor, the camera boasts a total track length of 740 μm and a field of view of 73°.
