Problems solved by technology

However, this does not obey the laws of optics at the microscopic level, and shrinking the pixel size in an image sensor cannot be achieved without compromising performance or image quality because: shrinking the photosensitive element reduces the light-harvesting ability, resulting in smaller The pixels collect less photons, which will inevitably cause more photon noise and reduce the imaging quality; and shrink the optical device, correspondingly, the lens diameter is smaller and the focal length is shorter, and for the same light collection ability, it is affected by diffraction The limited spot size does not depend on the diameter of the lens, so when the lens size is small, the number of resolvable image points will be greatly reduced, which will also lead to a decrease in imaging quality; and the reduction of the photosensitive element will reduce the light collection ability. In order to ensure the imaging quality, it is necessary to increase the lens diameter, increase the depth of the lens depression and reduce the depth of focus, and more lenses will be required to correct optical distortion, resulting in a decrease in the yield of the camera
[0004] To sum up, the existing camera devices generally use small pixel size, and the area of ​​a single photosensitive element is minimized, which will inevitably bring about the above-mentioned problems inside, which will affect the image quality and cost.
In addition, the existing camera devices generally use the overall imaging on a single photosensitive surface, and the phenomenon of dispersion and aberration is difficult to eliminate, which also affects the image quality.
