Abstract
An image sensor capable of ensuring high sensitivity image and minimizing color distortion is provided. The image sensor includes a first filter unit, a second filter unit formed at a lower part of the first filter unit and a sensor unit formed at a lower part of the second filter unit. The first filter unit is configured to pass light corresponding to a visible light region, pass light corresponding to a first region of a longer wavelength than the light corresponding to the visible region and cut off light corresponding to a second region of a longer wavelength than the light corresponding to the first region. The second filter unit is configure to pass light having a predetermined wavelength in a wavelength range corresponding to the visible light region among the light passing through the first filter unit and pass light corresponding to the first region. The sensor unit is configured to detect the light passing through the second filter unit.
