Light-field camera and method using wafer-level integration process
A camera module has light-field camera(s) and high resolution camera(s), the light-field camera(s) have multiple-lens arrays above an image sensor. The light-field camera(s) have a lens element at a same level as a lens element of the high resolution camera, the lens elements bearing apertures. The multiple-lens array of the light-field camera is above the image sensor at a same level as a flat transparent plate of the high resolution camera. The cameras lens cubes are made simultaneously by bonding molded lens plates and spacer plates, the lens plates and spacer plates including an upper lens plate having upper light-field camera lens elements and upper high resolution camera lens elements with applied apertures, multiple spacer plates, a microlens plate bearing an array of microlenses in the light-field cameras, the microlens plate being flat and transparent in areas of the high resolution camera.
