US Patent 7817198 Active pixel array of CMOS image sensor

The present invention relates to an active pixel array of a CMOS image sensor. The active pixel array includes a pixel sensor array in which a pixel sensor which detects first and second light signals, of which the wavelengths are different from each other, among all wavelengths of light signals so as to generate current and voltage signals and a pixel sensor which detects a third light signal with a predetermined wavelength so as to generate a current or voltage signal are alternately arranged; and a color filter array that is formed on the pixel sensor array and in which a filter which transmits all wavelengths of light signals and a filter which transmits the third signal with a predetermined wavelength are alternately arranged.
