Summary:An image sensor for capturing an image includes a photosensitive area for receiving incident light; a substance placed covering a portion of the photosensitive area which substance includes a first index of refraction; and a plurality of electrodes positioned adjacent the substance having a dielectric placed between a portion of the electrodes, which dielectric includes a second index of refraction lower than the first index of refraction.
