  • Publication number: 20230291986
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a phase mask and a lens-less camera module comprises the steps of: obtaining a replica mold on which an inverted phase shift pattern is formed in which a phase shift pattern of a master phase mask spaced apart from an image sensor is inverted; calculating a thickness of a phase mask disposed on the image sensor replacing the master phase mask; arranging a photocurable material for implementing the phase mask on the image sensor to a calculated thickness, placing the replica mold on an upper surface of the photocurable material, and then curing the photocurable material; and removing the replica mold from the top of the phase mask, so that the focal distance change or parallel movement does not occur depending on the position of the phase mask.

  • Publication number: 20220347952
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for manufacturing phase masks for lens-less camera comprises: a light source; a digital image mirror that receives a two-dimensional map, reflects the light irradiated from the light source with different intensities for each location and outputs reflected light; a two-dimensional map generator for generating the 2D map for adjusting the intensity of reflected light for each position such that the phase mask has a unique pattern of a different height for each position from a point spread function acquired in advance depending on the purpose of use of the phase mask; and a material holder on which a photo-curable film is disposed that is irradiated with the reflected light and cured to different depths depending on the light intensity for each position of the irradiated reflected light.
