Abstract

An image sensor includes a two-dimensional pixel array and a lens array. The two-dimensional pixel array comprises a plurality of pixels. Some of the pixels includes two sub-pixels. A rectangular coordinate is established by taking the pixel as an origin, a length direction of the two-dimensional pixel array as an x-axis, and a width direction of the two-dimensional pixel array as a y-axis. The two sub-pixels lie in both a positive half axis and a negative half axis of the x-axis and lies in both a positive half axis and a negative half axis of the y-axis. The lens array comprises a plurality of lenses, each covering one of the pixels.
