Claims
- 1. A method comprising:capturing light through an imaging system including: an imaging sensor having an array of photosensitive circuits, an array of color filter material over the array of photosensitive circuits, and a non-photoimageable microlens material comprising a polymer over the array of color filter material; and generating an image based on the captured light.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein capturing light comprises capturing light that prior to entering the microlens array is directed at an angle including other than perpendicular toward a photosensitive circuit.
- 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the microlens material has a convex shape.
- 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the microlens material comprises one of an acrylic polymer and a polysiloxane.
- 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the microlens material comprises fluorocyclobutane ether polymer.
- 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the microlens material comprises a substantially colorless polyimide.
