  • Publication number: 20240022800
    Abstract: An image sensor includes a pixel array including a first pixel connected to a first column line and a second pixel connected to a second column line, each of the first pixel and the second pixel including a first photodiode (PD) and a second PD, which share a driving transistor, are configured to operate in a first mode and a second mode according to a conversion gain based on the first PD, and are configured to operate in a third mode and a fourth mode based on the second PD; and an analog-to-digital converter including a first correlated double sampling (CDS) circuit, a second CDS circuit, and a third CDS circuit, which read pixel signals output through the first column line and the second column line. The first CDS circuit is connected to the first column line and the second column line in a time-division manner.

  • Patent number: 9612623
    Abstract: There is disclosed a mobile terminal deformable into a bar type mobile terminal including a main body in which a display unit is mounted in a front surface, and a strap coupled to both sides of the main body in a first direction to form a closed curvature shape with the main body, the strap comprising a pair of curved units, wherein the strap and the main body forming the closed curvature shape together are overlapped with each other to deform the mobile terminal into the bar type, as the curved units are folded.
