IMAGE SENSOR INCLUDING AUTO-FOCUSING PIXEL AND IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME

摘要

An image sensor includes a pixel array including first to fourth pixels having an R, G, and B Bayer pattern. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) block converts a pixel signal of each of the first to fourth pixels into a digital pixel signal. At least one among the first to fourth pixels includes two photo diodes separated in a first direction, and at least one other of the first to fourth pixels includes two photo diodes separated in a second direction which is different from the first direction.

1. An image sensor comprising:
a pixel array including first to fourth pixels having an R, G, and B Bayer pattern; an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) block configured to convert a pixel signal of each of the first to fourth pixels into a digital pixel signal; and a control block configured to control the pixel array and the ADC block, wherein: at least one among the first to fourth pixels comprises two photo diodes separated in a first direction, and at least one other among the first to fourth pixels comprises two photo diodes separated in a second direction which is different from the first direction.
