Abstract
Provided is an image sensor including a planar nanophotonic microlens array, and an electronic device including the image sensor. The image sensor includes a planar nanophotonic microlens array including a plurality of planar nanophotonic microlenses, wherein each of the plurality of planar nanophotonic microlenses includes a high refractive index nanostructure including a dielectric material having a first refractive index and a low refractive index nanostructure including a dielectric material having a second refractive index lower than the first refractive index, and wherein each of the plurality of planar nanophotonic microlenses is shifted toward a center portion of the planar nanophotonic microlens array and positioned at a periphery of the planar nanophotonic microlens array.
