Title:
IMAGE SENSOR CONTROLLING METHOD AND CAMERA SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/100632
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This image sensor controlling method is a method for controlling an image sensor that comprises: a photoelectric conversion unit that includes a first electrode, a second electrode opposed to the first electrode, and a photoelectric conversion layer located between the first electrode and the second electrode; and peripheral circuits connected to the photoelectric conversion unit. The image sensor controlling method comprises: accepting a predetermined input signal; and controlling the image sensor by switching between a normal imaging mode and a low power consumption mode on the basis of the predetermined input signal. In the normal imaging mode, the image sensor is caused to apply a first voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode. In the low power consumption mode, the image sensor is caused to apply a second voltage, which is higher than 0 volts and lower than the first voltage, between the first electrode and the second electrode and to halt some of the operations of the peripheral circuits.
