Summary:Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a camera module comprising flat lenses. Flat lenses have reduced thicknesses compared to other types of lenses, whereby the camera module may have a small size and camera bumps may be omitted or reduced in size on cell phones and the like incorporating the camera module. The flat lenses are configured to focus visible light into a beam of white light, split the beam into sub-beams of red, green, and blue light, and guide the sub-beams respectively to separate image sensors for red, green, and blue light. The image sensors generate images for corresponding colors and the images are combined into a full-color image. Optically splitting the beam into the sub-beams and using separate image sensors for the sub-beams allows color filters to be omitted and smaller pixel sensors. This, in turn, allows higher quality imaging.
