Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a pixel array for an image sensor with a color filter array (CFA) consisting of multiple cells.

  • Each CFA cell is made up of four CFA blocks.
  • The first and second CFA blocks contain multiple pixels that sense light of a first color.

Original Abstract Submitted

A pixel array of an image sensor includes a plurality of color filter array (CFA) cells. Each of the plurality of CFA cells includes first, second, third, and fourth CFA blocks. Each of the first and second CFA blocks includes a plurality of pixels to sense light of a first color. Most pixels of the third CFA block are configured to sense the second color and the third CFA block includes at least one first pixel to sense the first light. Most pixels of the fourth CFA block are configured to sense a third color of light and the fourth CFA block includes at least one second green pixel to sense the first light.
