Image sensor including an auto-focus pixel

An image sensor, comprising:

• a first pixel and a second pixel arranged adjacent to each other in a first direction, the first pixel and the second pixel each including at least two photodiodes arranged adjacent to each other in the first direction;
• a third pixel and a fourth pixel arranged adjacent to each other in the first direction, the third pixel and the fourth pixel each including at least two photodiodes arranged adjacent to each other in a second direction different from the first direction;
• a plurality of first connections disposed on the first pixel, and each connected to a corresponding transmission control signal line;
• a plurality of second connections disposed on the second pixel, and each connected to a corresponding transmission control signal line;
• a plurality of third connections disposed on the third pixel, and each connected to a corresponding transmission control signal line;
• and
• a plurality of fourth connections disposed on the fourth pixel, and each connected to a corresponding transmission control signal line,
• wherein the plurality of first connections and the plurality of the second connections are connected to different transmission control signal lines from each other, and
• wherein the plurality of third connections and the plurality of fourth connections are connected to different transmission control signal lines from each other.
