Abstract:
An image sensor according to some example embodiments includes a pixel array unit including a plurality of transmission signal lines and a plurality of output signal lines, and a plurality of pixels connected to the plurality of transmission signal lines and the plurality of output signal lines. Each of the plurality of pixels includes a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements, which are configured to detect and photoelectrically convert incident light. The plurality of pixels include at least one autofocusing pixel and at least one normal pixel.

Claim (Index 32):
A method of driving an image sensor, the image sensor including a plurality of pixels, the plurality of pixels including at least one autofocusing pixel and at least one normal pixel, each of the plurality of pixels including a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements, the method comprising:\n applying a first transmission signal activated at a first timing to the at least one autofocusing pixel to obtain a first sub pixel signal; applying a second transmission signal activated at a second timing different from the first timing to the at least one autofocusing pixel to obtain a second sub pixel signal; applying a third transmission signal activated at a third timing different from the second timing to the at least one normal pixel to obtain a pixel signal; obtaining image data corresponding to at least one autofocusing pixel by using a sum of the first sub pixel signal and the second sub pixel signal; and obtaining image data corresponding to at least one normal pixel by using the pixel signal.
