Embodiment Construction

[0050] It can be seen from the background art that the existing image sensor cannot completely eliminate noise when the noise is not exactly the same in two samplings, but can only eliminate some common noise. However, in existing CMOS image sensors, there is usually noise in the power supply, and this power supply noise is always changing. When reading each row of pixel units, this power supply noise will be superimposed on the output electrical signal after optical conversion. Since the power supply noise is always changing, the power supply noise at different moments is different, for example, the power supply noise is different at the first sampling and the second sampling, so it is superimposed on the pixel unit output at the first sampling and the second sampling There will be a difference in the power noise on the electrical signal after the optical conversion, but the subsequent circuit has no way to eliminate this power noise difference, resulting in the image showing ...

Abstract

The invention provides an image sensor and a method for eliminating power supply noises of the image sensor. The image sensor comprises a pixel array, a noise acquisition circuit, a pixel unit signal output circuit and a noise removing circuit, wherein each row of the pixel array comprises standard pixel units and non-daylighting dark pixel units; the noise acquisition circuit is used for obtaining power supply noise differences by utilizing power supply signals which are acquired by the dark pixel units for the first time and the second time and superposed with the power supply noises; the pixel unit signal output circuit is used for obtaining photo-converted electric signals superposed with the power supply noise differences by utilizing the power supply signals which are acquired for the first time by the standard pixel units and superposed with the power supply noises and photo-converted electric signals which are acquired for the second time by the standard pixel units and superposed with the power supply noises and the power supply signals; and the noise removing circuit is used for removing the power supply noise differences from the photo-converted electric signals superposed with the power supply noise differences, thereby improving the image displaying quality of the image sensor.
