Image sensor capable of separating color data between neighboring pixels and data scan method for the same

PURPOSE: An image sensor capable of separating color data between adjacent pixels and a data scanning method therefor are provided to zigzag-scan unit pixels in an identical row and an identical column, without scanning the adjacent unit pixels at the same time, so as to effectively prevent color superposition between the unit pixels. CONSTITUTION: In an image sensor having a plurality of pixels arrayed in rows and columns, a first group of pixels(B,C) includes at least one pixel(B,C) arrayed by interposing at least one pixel(A) in a plurality of pixels forming an identical row(Rn). A second group of pixels(D,G) adjacent to the first group of pixels has pixels mutually adjacent by interposing at least one pixel(F) in a plurality of pixels forming an identical row(Rn+1), and is located in a column different from a column of the pixels forming the first group. And a control line(L11) obtains data simultaneously from the first group of pixels and the second group of pixels. 본 발명은 동일행의 인접 픽셀의 칼라 데이터를 효과적으로 분리할 수 있는 이미지 센서 및 그 구동 방법에 관한 것으로, 동일 행 또는 동일 열의 인접한 단위 픽셀을 동시에 스캔하지 않고 지그 재그 스캔하여 이웃하는 단위 픽셀 간의 칼라 중첩을 효과적으로 방지하는데 그 특징이 있다.
