Abstract:
1. A pixel array with a dynamic range comprising a plurality of first type photodiodes which are two-dimensionally arrayed, a plurality of second type photodiodes which are disposed between the first type photodiodes, and a plurality of image signal conversion circuits which are disposed between the first type photodiodes and the second type photodiodes to convert image signals detected by the first type photodiodes and the second type photodiodes into electric signals, wherein an area of the first type photodiodes is wider than that of the second type photodiodes, wherein R filters, G filters, B filters are disposed on the first type photodiode, and wherein one or more of C (cyan) filters, M (magenta) filters, and Y (yellow) filters are disposed on the second type photodiode, wherein, on the first type photodiode a plurality of 1G horizontal filter lines having a plurality of G filters which are horizontally arrayed are disposed, and a plurality of 1RB horizontal filter lines having a plurality of R filters and B filters which are alternately arrayed are disposed, wherein, on the second type photodiode, a plurality of 2Y horizontal filter lines having a plurality of Y filters which are horizontally arrayed are disposed, and a plurality of 2CM horizontal filter lines having a plurality of C filters and M filters which are horizontally and alternately arrayed are disposed, wherein a plurality of the 1G horizontal filter lines and a plurality of the 1RB horizontal filter lines are vertically and alternately arrayed, and wherein a plurality of the 2GM horizontal filter lines and a plurality of the 1G horizontal filter lines are arrayed in virtually the same line, and a plurality of the 2Y horizontal filter lines and a plurality of the 1RB horizontal filter lines are arrayed in virtually the same line.
