Abstract: Disclosed is an image sensor. The image sensor according to an embodiment of the invention comprises: at least one active pixel and at least one line-optical black (L-OB) pixel arranged in a matrix formation including first through n^th rows and first through m^th columns; a pixel array which outputs pixel signals and dark level offset signals for columns during a readout process on at least one of the first through n^th rows; a row driver which outputs a selection control signal for the first through n^th rows; and an analog to digital converter (ADC) block which converts the pixel signal and the dark level offset signal to a digital format, wherein the pixel array simultaneously outputs dark level offset signals for L-OB pixels included in another row during the readout process on at least one of the first through n^th rows, and n and m are integers greater than or equal to two. By using the image sensor according to an embodiment of the invention, the number of L-OB pixels contributing to the readout process on one of the rows is boosted without increase of the size of a pixel array, such that pixel specific noises are efficiently reduced.

Abstract: PURPOSE: An image sensor and an image processing device thereof are provided to reduce the number of components of the image sensor by commonly using a load of a comparator circuit used for double sampling processing and a pixel sensor composing the image sensor. CONSTITUTION: A comparator circuit (20) outputs a signal for column signal lines (12-1-12-m) and a signal corresponding to a comparison result of a reference signal. An analog to digital converter (ADC) (30) converts an analog signal corresponding to an optical signal sensed in a pixel sensor selected from pixel sensors (11) connected with the column signal lines into digital data based on the output signals. A load circuit (40) is operated as a load diode common to the pixel sensors and the comparator circuit. [Reference numerals] (50) Buffer memory block; (80) Lamp signal generator
