Abstract
An image sensor includes: a sensor substrate including a first pixel and a second pixel; and a color separating lens array for condensing light of first wavelength onto the first pixel by changing a phase of light of the first wavelength included in incident light, wherein the sensor substrate further includes: an active pixel area for outputting an active pixel signal for image generation; a first dummy pixel area arranged outside the active pixel area and outputting a dummy pixel signal to correct image data generated from the active pixel signal; and a second dummy pixel area arranged outside the active pixel area and the first dummy pixel area and not outputting any pixel signal.
