Abstract:
An image sensor may include a substrate which includes a plurality of block regions. Each block region may include a separate plurality of pixel regions. Each pixel region may include a separate photoelectric element of a plurality of photoelectric elements in the substrate and a separate micro lens of a plurality of micro lenses on the substrate. Each micro lens of the plurality of micro lenses may be laterally offset from a vertical centerline of the pixel region towards a center of the block region. Each block region of the plurality of block regions may include a common shifted shape of the plurality of micro lenses of the block region.

Claim (Index 17):
An image sensor, comprising:\n a substrate, the substrate including a first block region, a second block region, and a third block region, the first through third block regions including separate, respective pluralities of pixel regions; a first boundary separation film in the substrate, the first boundary separation film defining the first and second block regions such that the first boundary separation film is divided between the first and second block regions; a second boundary separation film in the substrate, the second boundary separation film defining the second and third block regions such that the second boundary separation film is divided between the second and third block regions; and a plurality of micro lenses on the substrate and on separate, respective pixel regions of the pluralities of pixel regions of the first through third block regions, wherein\n intervals between micro lenses of the pluralities of micro lenses are not constant, \n the plurality of micro lenses located in the first block region and the plurality of micro lenses located in the second block region collectively include a symmetrical pattern of micro lenses with each other on a basis of the first boundary separation film, and \n the plurality of micro lenses located in the second block region and the plurality of micro lenses located in the third block region collectively include a symmetrical pattern of micro lenses with each other on a basis of the second boundary separation film.
