Abstract:
Provided is an image sensor having a hybrid pixel structure in which pixels that sense visible light and pixels that sense ultraviolet light or infrared light are arranged together. For example, the image sensor includes a plurality of first pixels and a plurality of second pixels that are different in size. A width of each of the plurality of second pixels in a horizontal direction is a first integer multiple of a width of each of the plurality of first pixels in the horizontal direction, and a width of each of the plurality of second pixels in a vertical direction is a second integer multiple of a width of each of the plurality of first pixels in the vertical direction. The image sensor enables the pixels sensing ultraviolet light or infrared light, which have different sizes from the pixels sensing visible light, to be efficiently arranged together with the pixels sensing visible light, on the same substrate.
