Claim 9:
10. An image sensor comprising:
a pixel array, the pixel array including:
a first image sensing subpixel and a second image sensing subpixel provided in a substrate, each of the first and second image sensing subpixels including a photodiode therein;
a first phase detection subpixel and a second phase detection subpixel provided in the substrate, each of the first and second phase detection subpixels including a photodiode therein, the first and second phase detection subpixels being next to each other;
a first micro-lens disposed on the first image sensing subpixel in a first row;
a second micro-lens disposed on the second image sensing subpixel in the first row;
a third micro-lens disposed on the first phase detection subpixel and the second phase detection subpixel in the first row and disposed on a third phase detection subpixel and a fourth phase detection subpixel in a second row, the third micro-lens being located adjacent to the first and second micro-lenses,
a first color filter layer disposed on the first image sensing subpixel and having a first color;
a second color filter layer disposed on the second image sensing subpixel and having the first color, and
a third color filter layer disposed on the first phase detection subpixel and the second phase detection subpixel and comprising a unitary shape.
