Abstract
An image data processing device includes an image sensor which includes a first pixel disposed in a first layer and a second pixel which is disposed in a second layer and is partially overlapped with the first pixel to form an overlapped area, and is configured to output a first signal from the first pixel and a second signal from the second pixel; and an image signal processor configured to output a first data for the overlapped area using a ratio for the overlapped area between the first pixel and the second pixel and the first signal, and output a second data for the overlapped area using the ratio and the second signal.

An image data processing device comprising:
- an image sensor which includes a first pixel disposed in a first layer and a second pixel which is disposed in a second layer and is partially overlapped with the first pixel to form an overlapped area, and is configured to output a first signal from the first pixel and a second signal from the second pixel;
- and
- an image signal processor configured to output a first data for the overlapped area using a ratio for the overlapped area between the first pixel and the second pixel and the first signal, and output a second data for the overlapped area using the ratio and the second signal.
An image data processing device comprising:
- an image sensor which includes a first pixel disposed in a first layer, a second pixel which is disposed in a second layer and is partially overlapped with the first pixel, and a third pixel which is disposed in a third layer and is partially overlapped with the first pixel and the second pixel to form an overlapped area, and is configured to output a first signal, a second signal, and a third signal from the first pixel, the second pixel, and the third pixel, respectively;
- and
- an image signal processor configured to output a first data for the overlapped area by using a ratio for the overlapped area between the first pixel and the third pixel and the first signal, output a second data for the overlapped area by using the ratio and the second signal, and output a third data for the overlapped area by using the ratio and the third signal.
