Abstract

Disclosed is an image sensor. The image sensor includes at least one photosensitive unit including at least two photosensitive layers stacked and not completely overlapped, a region where each photosensitive layer is not overlapped with other photosensitive layers being configured to arrange an electrode wire, and photosensitive component contents of the at least two photosensitive layers being different. According to the present disclosure, a wavelength range of sensible light of each photosensitive unit may be enlarged, so that more image details may be recorded, images with a high dynamic range may be generated, and people may experience a visual effect close to a real environment. In addition, as there is no need to reduce a photosensitive area of the photosensitive layer for arranging the electrode wires, the photosensitive area of the photosensitive layer is increased and thereby a dynamic range of the image sensor is improved.
