Abstract
An image sensor includes a photoelectric device generating an electric charge from light; a feedback device generating a reset voltage using a predetermined reference voltage; and a pixel circuit generating a pixel voltage using the reset voltage and the electric charge, setting the reset voltage to the reference voltage using the feedback device a first period, and outputting the pixel voltage and the reset voltage during a second period.
