Abstract:
An image sensor includes a pixel array, wherein the pixel array includes a first unit pixel including first sensing pixels adjacent along a column direction and second sensing pixels adjacent along the column direction, the first sensing pixels and the second sensing pixels being adjacent along a row direction, and a same color filter overlapping first and second sensing pixels. The first sensing pixels share a first floating diffusion node. The second sensing pixels share a second floating diffusion node.
