Title:
SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE, METHOD OF DRIVING SOLID-STATE IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/204225
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A solid-state image capturing device 10 comprises: a photodiode PD, which is an opto-electrical conversion element that accumulates electric charge generated by opto-electrical conversion during an accumulation period (exposure period); a transfer transistor TG-Tr which serves as an electric charge transfer gate portion with which charge accumulated by the photodiode can be transferred during a transfer period; and a state control unit 70 which, during the accumulation period (exposure period), controls the state below the gate of the transfer transistor TG-Tr to be a mixture of a state in which accumulation is occurring and a state in which accumulation is not occurring. By this means, it is possible to suppress a dark current without losing the function of discharging surplus electric current during accumulation.
