1. An image sensor, comprising:
a pixel array including a first pixel connected with a first column line, and a second pixel connected with a second column line spaced from the first column line in a first direction; and
a read circuit configured to receive pixel signals through the first column line and the second column line connected with a first interlayer connection region,
wherein the first column line includes a main wire of the first column line that extends in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, a first wire of the first column line that is between one end of the main wire of the first column line and the first interlayer connection region, and a second wire of the first column line that is connected with an opposite end of the main wire of the first column line,
wherein the second column line includes a main wire of the second column line that extends in the second direction, a first wire of the second column line that is between one end of the main wire of the second column line and the first interlayer connection region, and a second wire of the second column line that is connected with an opposite end of the main wire of the second column line,
wherein a first distance between the main wire of the first column line and the main wire of the second column line is longer than a second distance between a point where the first column line is connected with the first interlayer connection region and a point where the second column line is connected with the first interlayer connection region,
wherein a length of the first wire of the first column line is greater than a length of the first wire of the second column line, and
wherein a length of the second wire of the first column line is smaller than a length of the second wire of the second column line.
