Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes an image sensor that generates image data, and an image processor that processes the image data. The image sensor includes a pixel array including pixels repeatedly disposed along a row direction and a column direction. Each of pixels belonging to a first row of rows of the pixel array includes sub-pixels each connected to one of a first transmission metal line, a second transmission metal line, and a third transmission metal line. In response to signals respectively applied to the first to third transmission metal lines, at least a part of charges integrated at the sub-pixels of the pixels belonging to the first row from among the pixels is diffused to corresponding floating diffusion areas.
