Abstract
A method and electronic device for detecting a wavelength spectrum of incident light. The electronic device includes an image sensor including a pixel array, wherein the pixel array includes a unit pixel including a micro lens configured to focus incident light, and two or more photodetectors configured to output an electrical signal in response to the incident light; and a processor configured to detect a wavelength spectrum of the incident light based on output values from the two or more photodetectors.
