Abstract:
A pixel array uses two sets of pixels to provide accurate exposure control. One set of pixels provide continuous output signals for automatic light control (ALC) as the other set integrates and captures an image. ALC pixels allow monitoring of multiple pixels of an array to obtain sample data indicating the amount of light reaching the array, while allowing the other pixels to provide proper image data. A small percentage of the pixels in an array is replaced with ALC pixels and the array has two reset lines for each row; one line controls the reset for the image capture pixels while the other line controls the reset for the ALC pixels. In the columns, at least one extra control signal is used for the sampling of the reset level for the ALC pixels, which happens later than the sampling of the reset level for the image capture pixels.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 11  further comprising:\n resetting the plurality of pixels via a first reset line electrically coupled to a respective reset transistor of each pixel in the plurality of pixels; and \n resetting the at least one ALC pixel via a second reset line electrically coupled to a reset transistor of the at least one ALC pixel.
