Abstract
A camera assembly and a mobile electronic device are provided. The camera assembly includes at least two image sensors. Each image sensor includes a pixel array and a control circuit. The pixel array includes a plurality of row pixels and a plurality of column pixels. The control circuit is configured to control the image sensor to work in an imaging mode or in a light sensing mode. The control circuit is further configured to receive a light sensing instruction to control an intersection region of a part of row pixels and a part of column pixels to detect an illumination intensity so as to enable the image sensor to work in the light sensing mode and to receive an imaging instruction to control the pixel array to obtain an image so as to enable the image sensor to work in the imaging mode.
