A color filter array includes color filter units each of which is a square array formed by four square pixels. The first color pixel and the second color pixel are arranged to form a row, the two third color pixels are arranged to form another row, and a row pixel direction of the color filter unit relative to a horizontal direction is inclined by 45° to left or right. The color filter array is an inclined rectangular array, pixels from an intermediate row to a first row or to a last row in a same direction is progressively decreased with a decrement of 1 or 2, and pixels in the first row and the last row is 1 or 2. The application can significantly increase the area of pixels of the unit color filter, and improve the sensitivity of the image sensor without reducing the resolution of the image sensor.
