Abstract
An image sensor included in a camera system comprises: a plurality of photodiodes for processing optical signals which have passed through a lens included in the camera system; and at least one mask, disposed on the top of at least one photodiode among the plurality of photodiodes, for enabling the optical signals which have passed through an inner region of the lens included in the camera system to enter the at least one photodiode.
