Title:
IMAGING ELEMENT, IMAGING DEVICE, ENDOSCOPE AND ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/084511
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An imaging element which enables reduction in power consumption and miniaturization in chip size, an imaging device, an endoscope and an endoscope system are provided. The imaging element is provided with: a sample-and-hold unit 262 which holds and outputs and imaging signal transferred from a horizontal transfer line 258; a reference voltage generation unit 246 which generates and outputs a reference voltage corresponding to a prescribed voltage; an amplifier unit 263 which is connected to the sample-and-hold unit 262 and the reference voltage generation unit 246 and which amplifies and outputs a signal inputted from the sample-and-hold unit 262 with the reference voltage Vref as a reference; and a timing generation unit 25 which controls the voltage of the reference voltage Vref inputted to the amplifier unit 263 during the horizontal blanking intervals and/or the image signal intervals of the imaging signal.
