Abstract

An image sensor includes a plurality of row lines extending in a first direction, a plurality of column lines including a plurality of first column lines and a plurality of second column lines, the plurality of column lines intersects the plurality of row lines, and a plurality of pixels arranged along the plurality of row lines and the plurality of column lines, the plurality of pixels includes a plurality of pixel groups, each of the plurality of pixel groups includes two or more pixels. Each pixel includes a first photoelectric element, a second photoelectric element, a first pixel circuit connected to the first photoelectric element, and a second pixel circuit connected to the second photoelectric element. In each pixel group, the first pixel circuits share one of the plurality of first column lines and the second pixel circuits share one of the plurality of second column lines.
