Abstract:
An image sensor includes a pixel array including a plurality of pixel blocks, each including a light receiving section including unit pixels which share a floating diffusion; a first driving section disposed at one side of the light receiving section and including a reset transistor; and a second driving section disposed adjacent to the first driving section and including a driver transistor, wherein the pixel blocks include a first pixel block and a second pixel block which is adjacent to the first pixel block, and, with respect to a boundary where the first pixel block and the second pixel adjoin each other, the first driving section of the first pixel block has a shape symmetrical to the first driving section of the second pixel block and the second driving section of the first pixel block has a shape asymmetrical to the second driving section of the second pixel block.
