Abstract
An image sensor includes a sensor substrate including a first photosensitive cell and a second photosensitive cell configured to sense light and color separating lens array including a first region and a second region, wherein the first region faces the first photosensitive cell and includes first nanopost and the second region faces the second photosensitive cell and includes second nanopost. The first nanopost and the second nanopost form a phase distribution at a location where the lights pass through the first region and the second region, by the phase distribution, light having a first wavelength and light having a second wavelength different from each other from among incident light incident on the color separating lens array are branched in different directions and the light having the first wavelength is condensed onto the first photosensitive cell and the light having the second wavelength is condensed onto the second photosensitive cell.
