Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3513996
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an excess rush current caused when all picture elements of the solid-state image pickup device are reset.
SOLUTION: The solid-state image pickup device having plural pixels for photoelectric conversion and scanning circuits 5, 9 selecting sequentially the plural picture elements 1 is provided with a shift register as a scanning circuit to set outputs of plural circuit stages to a prescribed logic state nearly simultaneously and with a light receiving element PD as a picture element 1 and an amplifier element QA amplifying a signal charge stored in the light receiving element PD. Outputs of plural circuit stages of the shift register of the scanning circuit 5 are set to the prescribed logic state to select plural picture elements 1 and the charge of the light receiving element PD is reset while the plural selected picture elements 1 cut off the amplifier element QA.
