Abstract
A method for manufacturing an image sensor including an array of pixels and an imaging lens exit pupil for focusing rays of light onto the array of pixels is provided. Each pixel includes a light sensitive region and at least one optical element associated therewith. The method includes positioning the at least one optical element for each pixel relative to its associated light sensitive region based upon a range of acceptable angles of incidence for the rays of light from the imaging lens exit pupil.
