A microlens array is an optical device that has lots of tiny lenses.
It can be used to make a light field display.
Thorlabs advertises the sale of microlens arrays as of 2024.[1] Thorlabs has claimed that their lenslet arrays are formed using photolithographic techniques.[1]
A microlens array is used in Lytro's cameras.[2]
Microlens arrays have been produced with a distance between microlenses of about 125 microns, which is 1/8 of a millimeter.[3][1]
Microlens arrays can be produced using microfabrication techniques.
To make a plenoptic microlens based display, each microlens should be at the minimum 200 pixels wide and 200 pixels long.
