Patent ID: 7710667

Claim:
An imaging module comprising: a first transparent substrate having a first aperture layer on a first side and a second aperture layer on a second side, the first aperture layer comprising a first aperture and the second aperture layer comprising a second aperture such that the first aperture and the second aperture are optically aligned; a first lens replication layer comprising a first positive lens on a first side of the first transparent substrate, the first aperture layer being between the first lens replication layer and the first side of the first transparent substrate and the first positive lens being optically aligned with the first aperture; a second lens replication layer comprising a first negative lens on a second side of the first transparent substrate, the second aperture layer being between a first side of the second lens replication layer and the second side of the first transparent substrate and the first negative lens being optically aligned with the second aperture; a second transparent substrate having a third aperture layer on a first side and a fourth aperture layer on a second side, the third aperture layer comprising a third aperture and the fourth aperture layer comprising a fourth aperture such that the third aperture and the fourth aperture are optically aligned; a third lens replication layer comprising a second negative lens on a first side of the second transparent substrate, the third aperture layer being between a first side of the third lens replication layer and the first side of the second transparent substrate and the second negative lens being optically aligned with the third aperture; a fourth lens replication layer comprising a second positive lens on a second side of the second transparent substrate, the fourth aperture layer being between the fourth lens replication layer and the second side of the second transparent substrate and the second positive lens being optically aligned with the fourth aperture; and an image sensor comprising a pixel array optically aligned with said lenses and apertures, wherein a second side of the second lens replication layer is attached to a second side of the third lens replication layer such that the first, second, third and fourth apertures are optically aligned.
