  • Patent number: 10684505
    Abstract: Provided is a tunable electro-optic filter including a reflective structure including a first reflective layer including a first pattern layer having a first meta-surface structure disposed on a first side of the liquid crystal layer and a second reflective layer including a second pattern layer having a second meta-surface structure disposed on a second side of the liquid crystal layer. Each of the first meta-surface structure and the second meta-surface structure includes multiple dielectric materials which are alternately stacked, and a thickness of each dielectric material gradually increases. Alternately, the tunable electro-optic filter may include a pattern layer having a meta-surface structure disposed on at least a side of the liquid crystal layer.

  • Patent number: 9653501
    Abstract: An image sensor including a color filter and a method of manufacturing the image sensor are provided. The image sensor includes a light-sensing layer configured to detect incident light, and convert the incident light to an electrical signal. The image sensor further includes a color filter layer disposed on the light-sensing layer, the color filter layer including color filters, each of the color filters being configured to transmit, among the incident light, light in a wavelength band to the light-sensing layer. The image sensor further includes an isolation layer disposed between the color filters, the isolation layer being configured to optically isolate the color filters from each other. An upper portion of each of the color filters has a cylindrical shape, and a lower portion of each of the color filters has a hemispherical shape.
