Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP5108713
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
Solid-state imaging device having a plurality of vertical signal lines, includes for each vertical signal line, an effective pixel and a dummy pixel, a switch transistor provided on a path connecting the dummy pixel and the vertical signal line, and a read-out unit. The switch transistor is OFF while a first signal is outputted from the effective pixel and ON while a second signal is outputted from the dummy pixel. The read-out unit (i) reads out a level of the first signal while the switch transistor is OFF, and (ii) reads out a difference between the level of the first signal and a level of the second signal when the switch transistor is turned from OFF to ON.
