Abstract
An image sensor includes a color filter array including a primary color pixel such as a green filter pixel for sensing a predetermined primary color, a first secondary color pixel such as a yellow filter pixel, and a second secondary color pixel such as a cyan filter pixel. The primary color pixel, the first secondary color pixel, and the second secondary color pixel form different area ratios in the color filter array. For example, the area ratio of the yellow filter pixel to the cyan filter pixel and the green filter pixel is 2:1:1 in the color filter array. In addition, the color filters of the pixels are compensated for crosstalk effect. Such an image sensor has enhanced color reproducibility and sensitivity.
