Abstract: A binary image sensor includes; binary pixels, each having a transistor structure, being coupled between a drain line and a column line and generating a number of photons in response to incident light, sense amplifiers connected to a respective column line and outputting a binary value in response to detecting a voltage corresponding to current flowing to the column line when a gate voltage is applied to a gate line connected to a gate of a binary pixel, and an accumulator configured to accumulate binary values output by the sense amplifiers.
