Provided is an image sensor including a pixel array including a plurality of pixels, and a micro lens array including a first micro lens of a first size provided in a first area of the pixel array and a second micro lens of a second size provided in a second area of the pixel array, the second size being different from the first size.

Image sensor and electronic device including image sensor

An image sensor includes a plurality of pixels configured to receive an optical signal incident through a first lens portion; a planarization layer that has a same refractive index as a refractive index of the first lens portion; a second lens portion that is configured to classify the optical signal incident through the first lens portion according to an incidence angle, and is configured to deliver the optical signal to each of the plurality of pixels; and image processing circuitry configured to generate a subject image by combining one or more subimages obtained from the optical signal, wherein the planarization layer is arranged between the second lens portion and the plurality of pixels.

Image sensor and imaging apparatus having the same

Disclosed is an image sensor module which includes a pixel array including a plurality of sub-pixels arranged along a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, an analog to digital converter connected to the pixel array through a plurality of data lines and converting signals output from the plurality of sub-pixels into digital signals, a row decoder connected to the pixel array through a plurality of selection lines, a plurality of transfer lines, and a plurality of reset lines, and a control logic circuit controlling the analog to digital converter and the row decoder to allow a plurality of sub-frames to be sequentially outputted from the plurality of sub-pixels, wherein each of the plurality of sub-frames is generated based on signals output from different sub-pixels among the plurality of sub-pixels.

Image sensor module and image sensor device including the same

An image detecting device includes a color image sensor configured to sense visible light and to output color image data based on the sensed visible light; a first infrared lighting source configured to provide first infrared rays to a subject; a second infrared lighting source configured to provide second infrared rays to the subject; a mono image sensor configured to sense a first infrared light or a second infrared light reflected from the subject and output infrared image data; and an image signal processor configured to, measure an illuminance value based on the color image data, measure a distance value of the subject based on a portion of the infrared image data corresponding to the first infrared light, and obtain an identification image of the subject based on the illuminance value, the distance value, and a portion of the infrared image data corresponding to the second infrared light.

Image detecting device and image detecting method using the same

An image apparatus may be configured to calculate a depth of an object relative to the image apparatus. The image apparatus may include an image sensor that may capture a plurality of images of the object. Depth calculation may include calculating a binocular disparity using the plurality of images, measuring a local temperature value from at least one temperature sensor, correcting a focal length of at least a portion of the image apparatus according to the measured local temperature value, and calculating a depth of the object using the binocular disparity and the corrected focal length. The corrected focal length may be determined based on a focal length variation value. The focal length variation value may be determined based on performing contrast autofocus on one or more captured images and the local temperature value.
