    Abstract: An image sensor includes a pixel array in which a plurality of pixels are arranged, wherein each of the pixels includes a photodiode, a transfer transistor, first to third floating diffusion nodes, a first capacitor, a second capacitor, a third capacitor, a first switch transistor, a second switch transistor, and a reset transistor. The second switch transistor is configured to turn off in a first period and to turn on in a second period of an exposure period of the photodiode, and the reset transistor is configured to turn on in the first period and to turn off in the second period of the exposure period of the photodiode.

    Abstract: An image sensor is provided. The image sensor includes: a pixel array of pixels arranged in a row and column directions. A first pixel provided in a first row of the pixel array includes a first sub-pixel connected with a first metal line, a second sub-pixel connected with a second metal line, a third sub-pixel connected with a third metal line, and a fourth sub-pixel connected with a fourth metal line. When a read-out operation is performed on the first pixel, signals applied to the first through fourth metal lines are sequentially enabled. Based on the applied signals, at least a part of charges accumulated in the first through fourth sub-pixels is diffused to a first floating diffusion node. The first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel are adjacent in the column direction, and the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel are adjacent in the row direction

    Abstract: An air cleaner capable of removing bacteria and viruses. The air cleaner includes: a main body including a suction hole through which air is introduced and a discharge hole through which air is discharged; an ultraviolet (UV) irradiation device disposed between the suction hole and the discharge hole, and including a UV light emitting diode (LED) configured to transmit ultraviolet rays toward the discharge hole; a photocatalyst filter including a photocatalyst provided to generate active oxygen by reacting with the UV rays transmitted from the UV LED, and disposed between the UV irradiation device and the discharge hole; and a light blocking member disposed between the UV LED and the suction hole to prevent the UV rays transmitted from the UV LED from being emitted to an outside of the main body through the suction hole.
