Abstract: Provided is an image sensor including: a pixel array including a plurality of pixel groups each including first pixels to which a first conversion gain is applied and second pixels to which a second conversion gain is applied; a readout circuit configured to receive a first pixel signal corresponding to the first pixels and a second pixel signal corresponding to the second pixels through a single readout with respect to each of the plurality of pixel groups, generate first image data, based on first pixel signals of the plurality of pixel groups, and generate second image data, based on second pixel signals of the plurality of pixel groups; and an image signal processor configured to generate output image data by merging the first image data and the second image data in units of a pixel group.

Abstract: Disclosed is an image sensor comprising a subtrate that includes a plurality of pixel groups each including a plurality of pixel regions, a plurality of color filters two-dimensionally arraned on a first surface of the substrate, and a pixel separation structure in the substrate. The pixel separation structure includes a first part that defines each of the pixel regions and a second part connected to the first part. The second part runs across an inside of each of the pixel regions.
