Abstract
Provided are a pixel, a pixel array, an image sensor including the pixel array, and a method of driving the pixel array. The pixel includes a photoelectric converter, a capacitor, and a switching element. The capacitor accumulates electric charges converted by the photoelectric converter. The switching element outputs a potential of the capacitor. The switching element includes a transfer switching element transferring the electric charges, converted in the photoelectric converter, to the capacitor. The capacitor serves as a storage through multi-clocking of the transfer switching element.
