    摘要： An image sensor is provided including a pixel array, a correlated double sampling (CDS) unit, an analog-digital converting (ADC) unit, a control unit, and an overflow power voltage control unit. The pixel array includes at least one unit pixel that generates accumulated charges corresponding to incident light in a photoelectric conversion period and outputs an analog signal based on the accumulated charges in a readout period. The CDS unit generates an image signal by performing a CDS operation on the analog signal. An ADC unit converts the image signal into a digital signal. A control unit controls the pixel array, the CDS unit, and the ADC unit. An overflow power voltage control unit controls an overflow power voltage to have a low voltage level in the photoelectric conversion period and controls the overflow power voltage to have a high voltage level in the readout period.

    摘要： A pixel array in a three-dimensional image sensor includes depth pixels and an ambient light cancellation (ALC) circuit. The depth pixels operate in response to photo control signals having different phases, and generate distance information of an object based on light reflected by the object. The ALC circuit removes an ambient light component from the reflected light, and is shared by the depth pixels. Each depth pixel includes a photoelectric conversion region, a floating diffusion region, a photo gate, and a drain gate. The photoelectric conversion region collects photo charges based on the reflected light. The floating diffusion region accumulates the photo charges. The photo gate is activated in response to one of the photo control signals. The photoelectric conversion region accumulates the photo charges when the photo gate is activated, and the photo charges in the photoelectric conversion region are released when the drain gate is activated.

    摘要： An image sensor includes a pixel array. The pixel array includes a plurality of sensing pixels and at least two focusing pixels adjacent to each other. Each of the sensing pixels is configured to output an image signal corresponding to an amount of light incident on the sensing pixels. The at least two focusing pixels are configured to output a focusing signal corresponding to a phase difference between light incident on the at least two focusing pixels. Each of the sensing pixels and the at least two focusing pixels includes a semiconductor layer including a photodetecting device. Each of the sensing pixels includes a light guide which guides incident light toward the photodetecting device, and each of the at least two focusing pixels does not include the light guide.

    摘要： A pixel array includes an array of pixels to receive light, a first pixel to be blocked from receiving the light, and a circuit to adjust signals output from pixels in the array based on a signal from the first pixel. The signals output from the pixels in the array include a first error value. The circuit reduces the first error value in the signals from the pixels in the array based on the signal from the first pixel. The circuit may also reduce a second error value in the signals output from the pixels in the array based on a signal from a second pixel. The first and second pixels may be outside of the pixel array. The first and second error values may be storage diode leakage value and a dark current value.

    摘要： An apparatus and a method for capturing images are disclosed. The apparatus for capturing images includes an active pixel sensor (APS) array including a plurality of active pixels each including a photo diode and a storage diode, the plurality of active pixels being arranged in an array of N rows and M columns (where N and M are natural numbers of 2 or more), and an image signal processor that corrects an image signal output by the APS array. The APS array includes N pixel sensor rows, and the image signal processor removes noise from the image signal by using image signals that are sequentially output from non-adjacent ones of the pixel sensor rows.
