Abstract
An image sensor includes a plurality of thin lens elements, each of the plurality of thin lens elements including a plurality of scatterers configured to concentrate light of a partial wavelength band among light incident on the image sensor. The image sensor further includes a micro lens array configured to concentrate light of another wavelength band wider than the partial wavelength band, and a sensing element configured to sense light passing through the plurality of thin lens elements and the micro lens array.
