Title:
SOLID-STATE IMAGING ELEMENT, IMAGING DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SOLID-STATE IMAGING ELEMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/181856
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention increases the dynamic range of a solid-state imaging element having a reset transistor for initializing a floating diffusion layer. The solid-state imaging element comprises a floating diffusion layer, a reset transistor, and a drive circuit. In the solid-state imaging element, the floating diffusion layer is coupled to a predetermined inverted signal line via a capacitance. The reset transistor also transitions to an ON state in accordance with a predetermined reset signal to initialize the potential of the floating diffusion layer. The drive circuit supplies an inverted signal obtained by inverting the reset signal to an inverted signal line.
