IMAGE SENSOR DETERMINING BRIGHTNESS AVERAGE VALUE BY AT LEAST ONE COLUMN LINE AND ROW LINE BETWEEN A PLURALITY OF COLUMN LINES OF NONE SENSOR ACTIVE AREA AND A PLURALITY OF ROW LINES

摘要

PURPOSE: An image sensor and an illumination measurement method thereof are provided to realize the image sensor and the illumination sensor in one minor by using the sensor none activated area of the image sensor.;CONSTITUTION: A pixel array(100) forms a pixel area(10) smaller than a die edge(20). A control unit(200) outputs the electric signal to a video signal. The electric signal is detected in the sensor active region. The sensor passive area is arranged in the outside of the sensor active region. At least one pixel among a plurality of pixels in the sensor passive area is used as illumination sensor.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2011
