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.

Abstract: An image sensor includes a pixel array including a plurality of pixels arranged in a row direction and a column direction and a read-out circuit that generates image data and phase data based on a sensing signal received from the pixel array. The image sensor is configured the resolution of the phase data output by read-out circuit depending on target area information for the pixel array, the target area information received from outside of the image sensor.
