A lens array for imaging image elements in an object plane, and a method of making a lens array. The lens array includes lenslets formed in or on one side of a transparent or translucent material with the image elements disposed on the opposite side, and has a gauge thickness corresponding to the distance from the apex of each lenslet to the object plane. Each lenslet has a set of lens parameters. The gauge thickness and/or at least one lens parameter is or are optimized such that each lenslet has a focal point size in the object plane which is either substantially equal to the size of the image elements in the object plane, or varies from the size of the image elements by a predetermined amount.

Methods for producing lens arrays

A system for forming an integral image includes an optics system spaced between an active digital mask and the first side of an integral lens array, where the integral lens array has a light sensitive material layer spaced relative to the second side of the integral lens array. The active digital mask may provide the image directly to the integral lens array, or the image may be focused on a projection screen placed relative to the integral lens array. The active digital mask can vary the provided image to create a three dimensional image and to account for distortions caused by the optics system or curvature in the integral lens array and/or the light sensitive material. Edible materials may be used for the integral lens array and light sensitive material.
