SOLID-STATE IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE, SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS

Title:

SOLID-STATE IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE, SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/052219

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

The present technology relates to a solid-state image capturing device, a signal processing method, and an electronic apparatus which make it possible to appropriately add signals from a plurality of pixels. The solid-state image capturing device is provided with: a pixel array unit in which pixel parts each outputting an electric signal obtained by photoelectric conversion are arranged at least in a horizontal direction; and a shared vertical signal line (VSL) that is a VSL shared among a plurality of pixel parts adjacent in the horizontal direction, wherein in the shared VSL, the electric signals outputted by the plurality of pixel parts sharing the shared VSL are added. The present technology is applicable, for example, to an image sensor for capturing an image.
