Abstract
A unit pixel of an image sensor which operates in global shutter mode is provided. The unit pixel includes a photo diode area including a photo diode configured to accumulate photocharges generated from incident light during a first period and a storage diode area including a storage diode configured to receive and store the photocharges from the photo diode. The photo diode corresponds to a micro lens that focuses the incident light.
