Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An image sensor includes first conductive patterns on a first surface of a substrate, and second conductive patterns between the first conductive patterns and the first surface, in which at least one of the first conductive patterns or the second conductive patterns includes a time constant adjustment pattern and neighboring conductive patterns, in which the time constant adjustment pattern extends in a first direction that is parallel to the first surface and the neighboring conductive patterns extend in the first direction and are most adjacent to the time constant adjustment pattern. The time constant adjustment pattern includes one or more time constant adjustment portions that protrude in a second direction that is parallel to the first surface and is perpendicular to the first direction, and the one or more time constant adjustment portions do not overlap the neighboring conductive patterns in the second direction.
