+A '''lens array''' is a component of a display that can help to generate a [[light field]]. It consists of [[lens]]es arranged in a pattern or grid. It is a component of [[light field camera]]s and some types of [[light field display]]s.
−Lens arrays are useful because they translate between angle of light and position of light.
+Lens arrays translate between angle of light and position of light.
A lens array is a [[microlens array]] if its lenses are less than 1 millimeter wide.

+A lens array used in integral imaging must have a viewcone size significantly smaller than a human retina in order to solve the [[vergence-accommodation conflict]]. If the viewcone size is more than the width of the retina, the display will only show parallax, and no correct focal cues.

Each lens in the array has its own optical axis. However, when the array is viewed as a cohesive unit, the lenses form a shared main optical axis.<ref name="u455">{{cite web | title=Microstructure Lens Arrays | website=Laser Focus World | url=https://www.laserfocusworld.com/directory/finished-optics-coatings-components/lens-arrays/product/14303094/avantier-inc-microstructure-lens-arrays}}</ref>
