Title:
IMAGING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DRIVING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/033497
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This invention provides an imaging device and a method for driving same whereby variation in ranging results is reduced, improving ranging precision. Said imaging device is provided with a near-infrared light source and a solid-state imaging device provided with the following: a photoelectric conversion region (150) in which a plurality of photoelectric conversion units (101) are laid out so as to form a matrix; a plurality of perpendicular transfer units (102) that transfer, in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to the row direction of the photoelectric conversion region (150), signal charges generated in the photoelectric conversion units (101); a plurality of parallel transfer units (110 and 111) that transfer said signal charges in a parallel direction parallel to the row direction of the photoelectric conversion region; and a plurality of charge detection units (113 and 114) that amplify and output the signal charges. Signal charges generated in one of the photoelectric conversion units (101) within a given frame scanning period are outputted respectively from the same charge detection units (113 and 114).
