Abstract:
An image sensor controlling method is disclosed. The image sensor controlling method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps of: leading out and resetting a pixel array sequentially from the first to the n^th column of the pixel array; turning off a light source during a first time after completing the step for leading out and resetting; and leading out and resetting the pixel array sequentially from the first to the n^th column of the pixel array after the first time. The image sensor controlling method according to the embodiment of the present invention is able to increase the quality of an image because the radiation time of a light source maintains equally in every column during a photocharge storage time about each column which is included in the pixel array even the light source is turned on the off position. The present invention is also able to stop the reduction of a signal-to-noise ratio by stopping a photocharge storage with the off position of the light source.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: An image sensor, image sensing method and image capture device including the same are provided to automatically detect the change of integral time and to adjust the changed integral time, thereby quickly and accurately obtaining the depth information on a subject. CONSTITUTION: Pixel Array (PA) sequentially outputs images formed by pixel output signals which are outputted at the same time among pixel output signals. If integral time is changed which is applied to the formation of images, an integral Time Adjustment Unit (TAU) adjusts the changed integral time. The PA forms images which follow the images used to detect the change of integral time by applying the adjusted integral time.

PURPOSE: A depth sensor and a depth calculating method thereof are provided to accurately measure depth even though at least one or more pixel signals are saturated. CONSTITUTION: A depth calculating method of a depth sensor outputs modulated lights to a target object (40). Four kinds of pixel signals are detected from the depth pixels according to reflected lights reflected by a target object. Whether the pixel signals are saturated or not is determined according to the result of comparison between the sizes and threshold values of the pixel signals. The depth to a target object is calculated according to the result of the determination.

The defect correcting filter corrects the depth pixel information values based on the comparison result(S30).

PURPOSE: A depth sensor and a method for estimating distance using the same are provided to improve frame rate by fixing phase of optical signal emitting to a target object, and controlling phase of gating signals applying to rows of a depth pixel array. CONSTITUTION: A method for estimating distance using a depth sensor(10) is as follows. Multiple rows are successively reset. According to the reset order, gating signals are applied to the multiple rows successively. Photo-charge, generated in response to optical signals(EL) and the gating signals of each row, is accumulated. The optical signals are reflected from a target object(11) for same integration time. According to order where the photo-charge accumulating operation is finished, the photo-charge accumulated result is read from the multiple rows successively.

PURPOSE: A sensor, a method of operating the same and a data processing system comprising the sensor are provided to accurately measure distance information by compensating the loss of photoelectron due to thermal diffusion in a demodulating process at a sensor. CONSTITUTION: A timing controller can generate a plurality of packets(P~NP, where N is a natural number) as shown in Fig. 2c. Each of the packets(P~NP) comprises a first section(corresponding to T1 in Fig.2c; for example, referred to as an on-time section) and a second section(corresponding to T2 in Fig.2c; for example, referred to as an off-time section). During the first section, the timing controller outputs two oscillation signals(Pa and Pb), which oscillate between first and second levels, respectively. During the second section, the timing controller outputs DC voltage.
