IMAGE SENSOR, IMAGE SENSING SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD FOR SENSING AN IMAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18224611 titled 'IMAGE SENSOR, IMAGE SENSING SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD FOR SENSING AN IMAGE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an image sensor with a specific pixel pattern.

  • The pixel area is divided into halves using different division patterns.
  • Photodiodes are arranged in the divided pixel area.
  • The division patterns include horizontal, vertical, and diagonal divisions.
  • There are a total of eight photodiodes in each pixel area.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image sensor includes a pixel defining pattern in a mesh form, wherein a first division pattern divides a pixel area into two halves, a second division pattern divides the pixel area into two halves, a first diagonal division pattern divides the pixel area into two halves, a second diagonal division pattern divides the pixel area into two halves, and first through eighth photodiodes are arranged in the pixel area so divided.
