Abstract
An imaging device may include (1) an aperture, (2) a camera lens positioned to direct light received through the aperture to a plurality of image sensor elements at a front side of an image sensor array, and (3) the image sensor array. The plurality of image sensor elements may collect a portion of the light received through the aperture. A light-disrupting element may be disposed at a back side of the image sensor array. The light-disrupting element at the back side of the image sensor array may prevent at least a portion of the light that is not collected by the plurality of image sensor elements from reflecting back to the plurality of image sensor elements. Various other devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
