Abstract:
An image sensor includes a substrate including an active pixel region and an inactive pixel region, having a smaller area than the active pixel region; a plurality of active pixels in the active pixel region, each of the plurality of active pixels including a first transfer transistor, a first reset transistor, a first driving transistor, and a first selection transistor; and a plurality of inactive pixels in the inactive pixel region, each of the plurality of inactive pixels including a second transfer transistor, a second reset transistor, a second driving transistor, a second selection transistor, and a switch transistor connected to a node between the second driving transistor and the second select transistor. The plurality of switch transistors, included in the plurality of inactive pixels, are connected to each other by a connection wiring.
