    Abstract: An image sensor includes a semiconductor substrate and a photoelectric conversion device on the semiconductor substrate and including a plurality of pixel electrodes, a light absorption layer, and a common electrode. The plurality of pixel electrodes may include a first pixel electrode and a second pixel electrode. The photoelectric conversion device may include a first photoelectric conversion region defined in an overlapping region with the first pixel electrode, the light absorption layer, and the common electrode, and a second photoelectric conversion region defined in an overlapping region with the second pixel electrode, the light absorption layer, and the common electrode. Sensitivity of the first photoelectric conversion region may be higher than sensitivity of the second photoelectric conversion region. An electronic device may include the image sensor.
