Abstract: An image sensor includes a pixel array including a first shared pixel and a second shared pixel that are adjacent to each other in a row direction. The first shared pixel includes two or more photo diodes in a first row and two or more photo diodes in a second row, and the first shared pixel includes a first floating diffusion region shared by the photo diodes of the first shared pixel. The second shared pixel includes two or more photo diodes in the first row and two or more photo diodes in the second row, and the second shared pixel includes a second floating diffusion region shared by the photo diodes of the second shared pixel.

Abstract: Provided is an image sensor including a pixel array which provides a plurality of pixels arranged in rows and columns. The plurality of pixels include: a plurality of image sensing pixels each including a plurality of image sensing sub pixels that include the same color filter; and a plurality of phase detection pixels each including at least one phase detection sub pixel which generates a phase signal for calculating a phase difference between images, wherein the plurality of image sensing sub pixels included in the same image sensing pixel are connected to one selection signal line and receive the same selection signal.
