Abstract
An image sensor includes a sensor substrate includes first, second, and third pixels respectively sensing first, second and third wavelengths of light, A color separating lens array changes phase of light of the first, second, and third wavelengths, and condenses the phase-changed light onto the first, second and third pixels, respectively. The color separating lens array includes first to third pixel corresponding regions respectively facing the first to third pixels. The first pixel corresponding region includes a plurality of first nanoposts, the second pixel corresponding region includes a plurality of second nanoposts, and the third pixel corresponding region includes a plurality of third nanoposts, a second center nanopost having a greatest cross-sectional width among the second nanoposts overlaps a center of the second pixel, and a third center nanopost having a greatest cross-sectional width among the third nanoposts does not overlap a center of the third pixel.
