Title:
固体撮像装置の駆動方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP5773721
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A solid-state imaging apparatus includes: pixels arranged in a two-dimensional matrix; a signal line connected to the pixels; and the mechanical shutter for shielding the pixels. The pixel includes: a photoelectric conversion unit generating a signal by photoelectric conversion; a reset unit resetting a signal of the photoelectric conversion unit; and a selecting unit for switching between a selecting state and a non-selecting state. The reset unit terminates the reset operation at different timing for each row of the pixels, thereby starting the charge accumulation period in the photoelectric conversion unit. The mechanical shutter shields the photoelectric conversion unit, thereby terminating the charge accumulation period.
