Abstract
An image sensor includes unit pixels, and from among the unit pixels, a first unit pixel and a second unit pixel that are adjacent to each other each include a first tap having a first photo gate, to which a first signal having a first phase difference with respect to an optical signal is applied, and a second tap having a second photo gate, to which a second signal having a second phase difference with respect to the optical signal is applied. A location of the first tap in the first unit pixel and a location of the first tap in the second unit pixel, and a location of the second tap in the first unit pixel and a location of the second tap in the second unit pixel are symmetrical with each other based on one point between the first unit pixel and the second unit pixel.
