Title:
SOLID-STATE IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/208416
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to a solid-state image capturing device and an electronic instrument which make it possible to make effective use of data during vertical addition, even if special pixels are included.
In a case A, when adding together special pixels S in row 2 and imaging pixels G and R in row 4, if, for example, the special pixels S are selected, addition of the imaging pixels G and R is masked, and therefore the information in the special pixels S can be output. In a case B, when adding together the special pixels S in row 2 and the imaging pixels G and R in row 4, if, for example, the imaging pixels G and R are selected, addition of the special pixels S is masked, and therefore the information in the imaging pixels G and R can be output. This disclosure is applicable, for example, to CMOS solid-state image capturing devices used in image capturing devices such as cameras.
