Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP5101972
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A solid-state imaging apparatus including: a pixel section having a plurality of pixels arranged into a two-dimensional array, each pixel having a photoelectric conversion means, a memory means for storing a photoelectric conversion signal of the photoelectric conversion means, a transfer means for transferring the photoelectric conversion signal to the memory means, a reset means for resetting the memory means, a discharge means for discharging the photoelectric conversion signal accumulated at the photoelectric conversion means, and a read means for reading the photoelectric conversion signal of the memory means; a vertical circuit for controlling an operation of the pixels in the pixel section, the vertical circuit having an alternate disposition in the vertical direction of a discharge control signal line connected to the discharge means of vertically adjacent ones of the pixels for controlling the discharge means and a transfer control signal line connected to the transfer means of vertically adjacent ones of the pixels for controlling the transfer means; and a concurrent control means for controlling the vertical circuit so as to cause a concurrent operation respectively of the discharge means and the transfer means.
