Title:
PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL, ARRAY, READOUT METHOD FOR SAME AND CIRCUIT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/011585
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In order to achieve a photovoltaic cell and an array of high sensitivity and high dynamic range, there is a need for a photovoltaic cell and an array which are combined so that an amplified photovoltaic element and a selection element are resistant to external noise, and so that the combination is resistant to effects from address selection pulse noise at array readout time. In the present invention, in order to solve the problem, a photovoltaic cell has been configured with a combination of an amplified photovoltaic element (100) and a selection element (10 and the like) which are resistant to external noise, and various means of solution of the combination are provided which are resistant to the effects of address selection pulse noise at array readout time. As a result, a dynamic range of 6 to 7 orders of magnitude for light detection has become possible.
