However, the images are rendered into 12-pixel wide circular blocks, which are then projected through a 3D printed microlens array consisting of over 16,000 fisheye lens.
The prominent characteristic of noncontact microembossing technology is that the planoconvex microlenses can be formed by surface tension, which avoids direct contact between the microlens array surface and the mold's inner surface.
To improve the sensitivity or qE of front illuminated charged couple device (CCD) and CMOS image sensors without increasing their pixel size, digital cameras manufacturers apply a thin (0.5-1.0 mm thickness) and inexpensive microlens array to the sensors to reach high ISO levels [26].
