Claim 15:
16. An image sensor, comprising:
a pixel array including a plurality of pixel groups configured to collect photo-induced charges generated by an incident light;
a row driver configured to drive the pixel array row by row; and
a controller configured to control the pixel array and the row driver,
each pixel group comprising:
a plurality of unit pixels adjacent to each other and respectively including photoelectric conversion elements disposed in a semiconductor substrate;
a color filter shared by the plurality of unit pixels; and
a plurality of microlenses disposed on the color filter and having sizes different from each other, the plurality of microlenses configured to respectively focus the incident light to the photoelectric conversion elements included in the plurality of unit pixels,
wherein the color filter has the same color throughout the color filter so that the color filter having the same color vertically overlaps the plurality of microlenses having sizes different from each other.
