  • Patent number: 7161129
    Abstract: An image capture device includes a focusing lens, a light sensor array having a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix of rows and columns and a plurality of optical components. Each optical component is configured to focus light on a light-sensing portion of one of the pixels. The locations of the optical components define a grid of parallel and perpendicular lines and a line spacing of the grid varies as a function of a distance from an optical axis of the focusing lens.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20050174455
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide for reducing leakage associated with hold capacitors used in the processing of analog outputs from an image sensor. In some embodiments, a circuit configuration provides for load balancing of a hold capacitor associated with the image processor to prevent voltage droop across the storage capacitor. In certain embodiments, double sampling of the image sensor is provided for and two hold capacitors are configured to have balanced loads across each of the capacitor's terminals so as to prevent associated voltage droop. In embodiments of the present invention, a discharge mechanism associated with the hold capacitors is configured to only connect to the hold capacitor during discharge, in order to prevent leakage from the capacitor. In certain embodiments of the present invention, load balancing of the hold capacitors may be achieved by using symmetrical circuit design and circuit layout.
