Abstract:
A pixel array includes a plurality of pixel groups. Each of the plurality of pixel groups includes a plurality of subpixels arranged in an M×N matrix, where M is a natural number equal to or greater than 2, and N is a natural number equal to or greater than 2, as well as a plurality of color pixels configured to sense pieces of light having different wavelength bands. Each of the plurality of color pixels includes a same number of phase detection pixels.
