1. An event detecting device comprising:
a plurality of pixels arranged in M lines extending in a first direction and N lines extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the plurality of pixels configured to generate electrical signals by sensing an increase or decrease in light based on movement of an object; and
an event signal generator configured to generate a first event signal of a first group of the plurality of pixels and a second event signal of a second group of the plurality of pixels,
wherein the first event signal includes an address of the first group and event information of the first group,
wherein the second event signal includes an address of the second group and event information of the second group,
wherein the event detecting device is configured to output the event information of the first group and the event information of the second group without outputting the address of the first group and the address of the second group between the event information of the first group and the event information of the second group, and
wherein the M and N are integers.
