More Information
Summary:An image sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a pixel array including multiple pixels generating a pixel signal corresponding to each photocharge; a timing generator generating row driver control signals controlling an integration section of each pixel to include at least two sub integration sections; and a row driver generating multiple row control signals controlling each row of the pixel array on the basis of the row driver control signals. The image sensor operates in the manner of a global shutter. The image sensor can obtain an image of high quality by performing deblurring processing or high dynamic range processing. 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 이미지 센서는 각각이 광전하에 대응하는 픽셀 신호를 생성하는 복수의 픽셀들을 포함하는 픽셀 어레이, 상기 복수의 픽셀들 각각의 축적 구간이 적어도 2 이상의 서브 축적 구간들을 포함하도록 제어하는 로우 드라이버 제어 신호들을 생성하는 타이밍 생성기, 및 상기 로우 드라이버 제어 신호들에 기초하여 상기 픽셀 어레이의 각 로우(row)를 제어하는 복수의 로우 제어 신호들을 생성하는 로우 드라이버를 포함하며, 상기 이미지 센서는 글로벌 셔터(global shutter) 방식으로 동작한다.
