Abstract

An image sensor includes a pixel array including a plurality of normal pixels, a plurality of phase detection groups, and a color filter array. Each phase detection group includes a first phase detection pixel and a second phase detection pixel disposed adjacent to the first phase detection pixel. The color filter array includes a plurality of unit groups. Each unit group includes a plurality of color filters of a same color arranged in an M×N matrix on the pixel array, wherein M and N are natural numbers. A first color filter among the color filters of a first color is disposed on the first phase detection pixel of one of the unit groups and a second color filter among the color filters of a second color different from the first color is disposed on the second phase detection pixel of another one of the unit groups.
