Fig. 4 is a driving timing diagram of the pixel unit according to the mode i (M〇de 1) operation. At this time, the image sensor It is operated in 1 field (3 Hz), and the number of horizontal lines juxtaposed in the vertical direction becomes 480 lines. First, the initial selection of the pulse wave selector 7 during the vertical return line is to make the photodiode of the whole unit 1 (PD) When the signal is discharged, all of φμαι) ι ~ 〇 READ480 must be in a high state at the same time. At this time, in order to discard the signal read by the detecting unit (DN) to the power supply (VDD)*, all of the 1 RESET1 to 〇 RESET 480 must be in the high state. Then, photoelectric conversion is performed with a photodiode (PD) to accumulate signal charges. Then, after the vertical return, the signal charge of the photodiode (PD) accumulated in all the cells 1 is read out at the same time, in order to remove the invalid signal such as the leakage current of the detecting portion (DN), all of them are Φ RESET1~φ RESET48〇 must be in the high state. Then, all of Φ ΙΙΕΑ 〇 1 φ φ 348 () are in a state of 5, and the signal charge of the photodiode (PD) accumulated in the entire cell 1 is simultaneously read out to the detecting portion (DN). Then, during each horizontal return line period in the vertical effective scanning period, a signal for signal output of one horizontal line is outputted from the detecting portion (DN). For example, when the signal of the horizontal line No. 1 (No. 1) is detected, the pulse wave selector 7 makes 1 15 125385 2 15763 pif.doc ADRES1 & , 贝d言|虎>[Standing + reset words sold to the vertical signal line (VLIN). Next, the pulse wave selector 7 resets the detection portion (DN) by resetting the φ RJESET1 to the south state, and resets the level output to the vertical signal line (VLIN), and the AD conversion circuit 2 performs the noise cancellation circuit. In the differential operation, the reset level is removed from the ''signal level + vertical level' and only the signal is output. Fig. 5 is a driving timing diagram of the pixel unit operating in mode 2 (Mode 2). The sensor also operates in one field (fieldp 〇 Hz. First, the pulse selector 7 makes OREADl during the horizontal return line during the vertical active scanning period, (DRESET1 becomes a high state, so that the horizontal line 1 light one body The signal discharge of (PD) is repeated in the above order of the horizontal line No. 1 to No. 48 (NO. 480). Then, photoelectric conversion is performed by the photodiode (ρ〇) to accumulate signal charges. The vertical charge is valid for the signal charge of the photodiode (PD). For example, when the signal of the horizontal line No. 1 is read, the pulse selector 7 is reset by MDRES1 (DRESET1 becomes high) The level is output to the vertical = line (VLIN). Secondly, the pulse selector 7 is made by ΕΑΕ)1 When the state is high, the signal level + reset level, ·, is read to (V_. Moreover, the AD conversion circuit 2 removes the weight by the noise cancellation circuit, == vertical level ' The position is set, and only the signal is AD-converted and output by the image sensor. 2 In the first embodiment, the operation of the CM0S image sensor is displayed. In Fig. 6, the accumulation time 1, 2, 3 is used to display the light two. In the present embodiment, the number of scanning lines ^ 1253852 15763pif.doc is twice the number of deleted lines. That is, the vertical return line (57〇H), the vertical effective scanning period In the case of the mode 1 (m〇m丨), the accumulation start time of all the numbers 1 to 1 is the same, and all the levels = the PD discharge and the PD read in the number are The output of the signal that has been read out in the motion detection section _) is repeated in the vertical direction. The tiger line (VUN) is not in the heart of the time = 1 time (1〇5〇) H) (or the first phase of the first field of two fields: two light-polar body (PD) to accumulate 'all photodiodes (PD) already (four) ΐ the next accumulation time 2, about 2 times the accumulation time 1 The wheel input indicates the optical input signal.

The optical input signal twice as large as 1% can be converted into signal charge, and when the accumulation time is 3, the amount of light input signal is large. 17 1253852 15763pif.doc In this accumulation time 3, the φΚΕΑΕ) pulse wave is generated twice during the 1/2 vertical return line period, and the ipD read operation and the 2pD read operation are performed. As in the accumulation time 2, about twice the signal charge of the photodiode (pD) can be obtained. In the next frame (or field), the signal charges of the horizontal lines No. 1 to No. 480 are read out to the vertical signal line (VLIN) during the vertical effective scanning period of about 1/2 vertical period.

Further, when the OREAD is sold by u to generate a pulse wave twice or more during the frame period (or the field period), a signal amount of twice or more the photodiode is obtained. Further, when the vertical effective scanning period is 1/2 frame (or field) (1/2 V), the leakage current of the detecting portion can be made as low as 1/2. Therefore, the signal noise can be improved by more than 2 times than the S/N. In the present embodiment, although OREAD is read to generate a pulse wave twice or more, it may be generated three times or more when the saturation of the output portion is excessive. When compared with the accumulation _ from the start of the PD discharge to the 1 PD read operation, the two-times start from the start of the 1PD|buy operation to the read operation: the inter-discipline is long. In this operation, the 2PD readout signal can be added to the portion where the lpD is read without the fuller day unevenness f. When the pD is saturated at 2pD reading, there is no problem caused by the saturation of the pD portion when the 1JPD is mastered. The accumulation time can be set to the full _ of the frame or any period during the return line period. ΓΡΤΤι I 7A is a 矽1 sectional view and a potential operation diagram of the photodiode for explaining the operation of the accumulation time 2 in Fig. 6 . The low-leakage type 18 1253852 15763pif.doc photodiode (PD), the detection part (〇1^) and the surface of the well formed by the well (wdI) or the ruthenium substrate are formed by a p-type seal.汲极〇/〇〇). The signal read gate (Φ READ) and the reset gate (φ RESET) are formed by polycrystalline spine. The detection unit (DN) is connected to the amp transistor (Tb) for rotation. Fig. 7B is a potential diagram before 1 pD reading =. In the photodiode (PD), the optical signal is converted into a wide charge to accumulate approximately the approximately saturated signal charge Q1 of the photodiode (PD). Fig. 7C is a potential map after 1 PD readout. The signal charge Q1 is read out from the photodiode (fD) into the detecting portion (DN). The applied pulse of the read pulse 〇 READ is read at Vh which is deeper than the potential of the photodiode (PD). Since the surface of the photodiode (PD) portion is sealed by p-type, the electric potential of the photodiode (pD) is not deeper than the potential formed by a certain read voltage. Figure ^2 shows the potential map before PD reading. The optical signal is then charged in the photodiode (pD) to accumulate approximately the saturated signal turtle Q2 of the photodiode (PD). Fig. 7E疋2PD shows the potential map after it is taken out. The jg electric charge Q1+Q2 which is added by the photodiode (pD) = the read signal charge Q2 and the signal charge Q1 accumulated by the detecting portion (DN) towel is accumulated in the detecting portion (DN). , 丄 can get about 2 times the signal charge of the photodiode (PD). Similarly, in the electromagnetization time 3, a signal of about twice the (four) diode (PD) can be obtained. In the first embodiment, since the vertical signal line readout period is first, 1/2' The output of the image sensing gain becomes twice the previous chirp = 4 MHz signal. Further, the output period of the signal is compressed to 1/2 of the period of the vertical effective T field. Therefore, in order to output to a normal monitor, it is necessary to perform speed conversion using an external frame memory. In the first embodiment, "mode" and mode 2 are switched.

V, Z Fig. 9 shows the countermeasure of the i-th embodiment. The luminous cycle of Rong New is matched. For example, the vertical return line period is set to 8 3 milliseconds (ms) in the frequency range of 60 Hz. The frequency of the system is set to 1 G sec (4) in the area of 5 GHz. Figure 9 shows the action of 8 3 sec (4) during the vertical return line of the 60 Hz region.枳 , the 30 Hz VGA action is set to 45 h of 8 8 ms during the vertical return line. In the example of Fig. 9, the vertical return line period is operated by the number of horizontal lines of 16 640h milliseconds '1 frame 640H. The action solution became the previous 640/525 spit 22 times faster. The 2 million-pixel high-definition movie adds only a little bit of frequency at 45 MHz. Mode 2 is performed at an accumulation time longer than 83 milliseconds of the minimum illumination period of the fluorescent lamp. Set mode 1 when the accumulation time is below 8.3 milliohms. By such an operation, the simultaneity of the accumulation time of 8.3 milliseconds or less can be improved when the operating frequency is increased a little. When the camera of the lens aperture F2.8 of the 330,000 element CMOS image sensor of the first embodiment is used, an accumulation time of 10 milliseconds or more is obtained when shooting is performed in a normal office. Since the motion or the like is performed at a brighter %, the accumulation time of 8.3 milliseconds (10 milliseconds or less) is an effective method for improving the simultaneous generation. When the accumulation time is 8.3 milliseconds (1 milliseconds) or less, if the image is captured in mode 2, the amount of light emitted from the fluorescent lamp will vary depending on the accumulation start time of each horizontal line, and the monitor image will be reproduced. A horizontal stripe corresponding to the amount of luminescence of the fluorescent lamp occurs. Therefore, when 21 1253852 15763plf.doc becomes 1, the horizontal stripes in which the luminescence amount of the luminescence does not occur in the first frame due to the same accumulation start time. However, although the difference between the frames will be ίί::, but with the CCD camera component - each frame is below seconds), switching to mode i becomes an effective means. (The basis of the switch between the hair = die ^1 and the mode 2 is 1/2 of the time even if it is 2 times the milliseconds or 16 6 milliseconds of the fluorescent light _ 2 times. In the 'i-th embodiment, the number of vertical effective scanning lines is not changed, and the stitch return line _ is increased.

In the method of effectively scanning the line, the frame memory that can be realized at the same frequency as before is also unnecessary. Moreover, in the case of the model, the PD reading can be performed twice or more as shown in FIG. /N is improved to obtain a saturation signal twice as large as that of the photodiode 22 1253852 15763 pif. doc.

A block diagram of the configuration of a camera suitable for a photographing device. The digital camera is provided with a micro-computer 01, and the microcomputer 201 is connected to the time-series video signal processing unit, such as the bevel compression unit 203 and the video memory 204. The video data is transmitted through the image memory 204 and the liquid crystal monitor 205. The solid-state imaging device (sensor) S is disposed on the second axis 21, and the time-series generation image signal processing unit 2〇2 is connected in a solid state. Further, the digital unit 〇〇 has a power supply unit 207. The data 2Q1 butterfly timing is generated. The video signal processing unit 2Q2 generates a scene in the video sequence. ^ and the shirt image memory 204. The sensor s performs the imaging via the lens 206 based on the signal incident from the second and the processing unit 2〇2, and outputs the image signal to the timing generation 23 1253852 15763pif.doc image ## processing Part 202. The video signal processed by the time-series generated video signal processing unit 2〇2 is output to the video data compressing unit 1〇3, converted into an analogy number, and displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 205. If the photographing is reversed, 'then=image k is compressed in the image data compressing unit 203 and recorded in the image memory 204. In the reproduction mode, the lean material from the image memory 2〇4 is read into the image data compressing unit 103 and converted into an analog signal to be displayed on the liquid crystal monitor. And, even if the graffiti imaging device s is applied to the digital camera 2 (8), the operation of the solid-state imaging device S is still _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The circuit configuration of the large cm〇s image sensor S is placed. In Figure 12, the lang symbol is used to indicate.

(1) eld) operates in the manner of Hz. In Fig. 14, in the horizontal effective scanning period corresponding to the accumulation time, the signals of the photodiode (pD) where the horizontal line is located, for example, are sequentially placed. On this day, the pulse wave selector 71 sequentially applies 1 RESET1 to 〇reSET4 to each detection unit (DN) during the horizontal effective scanning to reset each detection unit (DN). Moreover, the pulse wave selection The device force sequentially applies φκΕΑΕ)1 to ΦΙΙΕΑΓ)4 to each photodiode (pD) during the next horizontal effective scanning period to perform a discharge operation of the signal caused by the t-electron shutter. Similarly, the pulse wave selector 71 is under During each horizontal effective scanning period, φ RESET5 〇 RESET8 is sequentially applied to each detection portion (DN) where the next four lines are located, so that each detection portion (dn) is reset. Moreover, the pulse wave selector π is effective at the next level. During the scanning period, φ READ5~1read8 is sequentially applied to each photo-polar body (PD) to perform a discharge operation of the signal caused by the electron fast (10). The above operations are sequentially repeated to make all horizontal lines of photodiodes (PD) The signal is discharged. Further, after the accumulation time set by ESDATA, the signal reading operation by the photodiode (PD) is performed. At this time, the pulse wave selector 71 sequentially applies φ RESET during the horizontal effective scanning.丨~φ reset: to each check Part (DN), resetting each detecting unit (DN). Moreover, the pulse wave selector 71 sequentially applies the brush ~d> READ4 to each photodiode (4) during the next horizontal effective scanning. The action of each photodiode (pD) 25 1253852 15763pif.doc eucalyptus is performed. Similarly, the pulse wave selector 71 applies φ RESET5~φ to the next four horizontal effective scanning periods. Each detection unit (DN) resets each detection unit_. Further, the pulse wave k is 71, and the read operation by the respective photodiodes (4) = is performed by sequentially applying 1 ft. to the respective photodiodes (pD) ′ during the next horizontal effective scanning. The above operations are repeated in order to read out the signals of the photodiodes (PD) of all the water lines. After crying, the vertical signal and line VUN are read. First, the pulse wave selection 3 ADRES1 becomes the ❺ state ‘the detection unit of the horizontal line No. 1 搵1 level: reset level, and read out to the vertical signal line. Secondly, the pulse selection method is such that ΦΙΙ·Τ1 becomes high “so that the detection unit resets two sets” 'to output the reset level to the vertical signal line. The ad conversion circuit 2 ^ is composed of the noise circuit The differential action causes the reset level to be removed by the "money level + weight" and only the money is output. This crane is carried out in sequence on the parental level 1 horizontal line during the horizontal return line. Figure 15 is a vertical shift register (Es) 5, _) 6, (ADR) 1Q (10). In Fig. 15, the output waveform of the object 14 can be compared with the output of the electronic shutter during the horizontal effective scanning period by the vertical shift register (10) 5: tES1 sequentially becomes the high state. In the '1 horizontal effective scanning period, s# "buy the day" from the vertical shift register (4)) 6 * (10) ~ the sequence becomes the high state. When the vertical signal line is output, it is shifted vertically. The ADR of the ADR is a high state in the same period of time during the blood level effective scanning. The above actions are performed sequentially for the horizontal line No. 1 to No. 480. 26 1253852 15763pif· 2 In the implementation form, although the electronic shutter of the photodiode (pD), ^ signal readout is implemented in a horizontal line during the horizontal effective scanning, but only Md) READ pulse or 〇 RESET pulse The number of lines in the vicinity of the horizontal effective scanning period can also be increased in the range of the responsiveness. Further, the generation of the pulse wave is not limited to the one-level effective scanning period, and the pulse wave can be generated in one horizontal scanning period including the horizontal return line period. The 16 series is based on the operation timing chart of the element unit of the M〇de u operation, and its simultaneity is improved as compared with the case of Fig. 14. "In Fig. 16, the electronic shutter is discharged or the signal is read. · X flat has a period of time during the sweeping of the heart The flat line is one set and these ^ flat lines are selected at the same time, and each of the selected horizontal lines is sequentially discharged or read by the photodiode (PD). For example, the pulse wave selector 71 applies the same phase 峨_~ Secondly, the pulse of the same phase is added (DREAD5~(DREAD8.) The pulse of the same phase is applied to the i-group with 4 horizontal lines, and then the pulse wave of her offset is applied to the 4 horizontal lines in turn. In comparison, four times of simultaneity can be obtained. Although the * horizontal line is made into the same phase, it can be increased from two horizontal lines until the number of available lines. Figure π is the vertical shift register in the second embodiment ( ES), (R〇) the output waveform. In Figure 17, the output waveform of Figure 16 can be compared with the output of the vertical shift register (ES) 5 and the output of the vertical shift register (R〇) 6. The two horizontal lines are respectively one set and become high. At the same time, the vertical shift register (ADR) is like the one in Fig. 5, and the horizontal line becomes high.

Moreover, by increasing the number of horizontal lines, the simultaneity can be improved when compared with a single-lens reflex camera. As described above, in the present embodiment, the mode 1 and the mode 2 can be performed. When the mode 1 is 1,1253852, the 15763 pif.doc mode 1 can be (4) the time is changed, and the L is caused by the granules of the granules. The offset produces a pull-like Wei, and the enamel deteriorates. On the one hand, the mold, but because it can eliminate the KTC noise, the granular ^ can be the same to the southern tannin. The timing chart of mode 2 is shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 19 as mode 1 (M〇de丨) and =, and is manually set or controlled by the control unit C. The mode 2 of the camera # is in pure mode. The timing is as follows: === Sensing 2 = Lifting mode is used to set the subject in the configuration mode ^=14 obtained by using the dark enamel of the image. In step S15, it is judged that the formula is 2. Not gain boost time CTS). In step S17, the accumulation is changed in η%,: and mode 1 is set in (10). ;; = = (IS) is shorter than (4), and mode 2 is set in (10).

The maximum number of generations is lower than that of Kazaki. (The DREAD pulse generation number is expressed by how many skins can be generated during the m period. Currently in the L98 microsecond period during the period of 1/3 〇 (sec) / 525 (line) = 63.5 microseconds (us) The wave produces a phantom. The simultaneity (twist line) is the number of squall lines recorded in the table, so that only a small degree of human correction value == gain determination or the accumulation time of step S17 is determined. Most of the input is in the face-to-face shutter action. The focus plane shutter makes the gap in front of the film in the upper: p action... The current monocular reflected light is usually made into a full opening and stored in 1/125~ seconds. In the actual camera, the second time is two: when S 6H '1/250 seconds, the accumulation time is 63H, and the same simultaneity of a single-eye reflected light camera using the upper and lower slits can be obtained. The short accumulation time of the sea can also improve the simultaneity compared to the single-lens reflex camera. Gas 1253852 15763pif.doc M jf is the second embodiment of the KTC noise when the low illumination is displayed. The subject is very noticeable and the electronic shutter is actuated. The influence of C noise is small. Compared with the operation of accumulating time 1 at low illumination, it is not possible to obtain the signal in the mode 2 'detection unit (DN), and the signal is in the photodiode (4). Medium. i horizontal return line is output by the photodiode item and output to the vertical signal line ^^ very). In the f mode 1, first, in order to reset the black signal of the leakage current of the detecting portion (DN), the 〇RESE pulse wave must be applied. Next, in order to read the signal from the photodiode (?0), it is necessary to apply (DREAD pulse wave to keep the read signal in the detection portion (DN). Moreover, if 〇ADRES is applied during the horizontal return line The pulse wave is held in the detection unit (DN), and the signal is level + reset level, and is output to the vertical signal line (VLIN). Moreover, the oreset pulse wave is applied to output the reset level to Vertical signal line (VLIN). Then 'reset the level sum in the AD conversion circuit 2, the signal level + reset level differential action, by the "signal level + reset level," remove the weight The noise component is left and only the signal is left. However, there is KTC noise mixed in the signal due to the difference between the reset level of the initial detection unit (DN) and the reset level during the horizontal return line. In mode 2, first, in order to reset the invalid signal of the leaking flow of the detecting portion (DN), the ORESET pulse must be applied. At this time, the reset level is output to the vertical signal line ( VLIN). Secondly, in order to read the signal from the photodiode (PD), an OREAD pulse must be applied. 31 I25385263p_ ΐίΓLt out In the detection part (DN), the signal level + reset bit Ϊ ^ 重 Hf# (VUN) °, in the AD conversion circuit 2 signal level material weight + money, (4) minute action, by " In this kind of moving h 4, the resetting of the noise component is removed and only the signal is left.

When the mode 丨 and mode 2 described above are switched in correspondence with the storage of two, the 照S/N of low illuminance can be realized. Further, in the above-described form of application, although the configuration of the unit of the pixel unit composed of one photodiode (PD) and four transistors is described, one photodiode shown in FIG. The configuration of the i-cell 1 unit composed of (PD) and five transistors can also be reduced by switching between mode 1 and mode 2 to reduce the KTC noise at a low illumination of 32 1253852 15763 pif.doc degrees. Also, the polarity of the signal after AD conversion in mode 1 and mode 2 is reversed. In Fig. 12, the output after AD conversion is inverted in mode 1 and mode 2. Further, in FIG. 2, the polarity of the triangular waveform is reversed in mode 1 and mode 2. In other cases, the input polarity of the operational amplifier type comparator of the AD conversion circuit has a switching method in mode 1 and mode 2. At this time, the signal is input to the positive side of the comparator in mode 1, and the triangular waveform is input to the negative side. On the one hand, in mode 2, the signal is reversely input to the negative side of the comparator, and the waveform is input to the positive side. Also, an input of the comparator is provided with an inverting amplifier. The mode 1 and mode 2 can also be used with or without the inverting amplifier. Moreover, in the above-described embodiment, although the image sensor of the 330,000-pixel VGA method is taken as an example, there are many more pixels, and the number of CMOs image sensors that are also available in the first place are usually The accumulative start time of the action frequency dipole with the frame is accumulating when it is offset at every horizontal line: the first horizontal line of the door t starts to the last horizontal line, and the different 'moving' When the subject is photographed, there is an unsuitability for the 1st, and there is no simultaneity. Shutter movement:: In the form of 2, the electrons in the CM〇S image sensor are all carried out on the Μ/inside 2 horizontal line at the time of splitting at each level. This electronic shutter action has a short accumulation time and is added. The number of lines read by the photodiode during such a t-throw period is 増 /, which can correspond to the unchanging electric power during the vertical return line. 33 1253852 15763p|f· The sub-shutter accumulation time improves the simultaneity. Moreover, in another embodiment, when the electronic gate of the CMOS image sensor is operated, the vertical return line period of one frame (or one field) becomes 4, 15 milliseconds of 1/2 of the minimum period of the fluorescent light. (mS) or more than 5 sec., I, and rabbit are about 1/2 or less during the frame period (or during the field). When the signals arranged in the second-order photodiode are simultaneously discharged, the signals are accumulated in the respective photodiodes, and the signals of all the photo-integrators are simultaneously read after the accumulation time. _ If the vertical return line period is set to 1/1 2. The amount of light can be controlled in the 1/2 step during the human time during the frame. That is, the accumulation time can be made by ^1 frame' 1/2 frame, 1M frame.... Further, when the accumulation time is 1/2 or less, the accumulation time can be controlled in the following time in the horizontal scanning period. In one aspect, by making the vertical return line period 4.15 milliseconds (mS) or 5 milliseconds of 1/2 of the minimum period of illumination of the fluorescent lamp, or setting it to 8. 3 milliseconds or 10 milliseconds of the minimum period of illumination of the fluorescent lamp. , continuous photographic shooting such as MpE^ mode or Motion JPEG mode can be realized. In particular, the aspect ratio of the HDTV method is 9 to 16 hours, and the operation can be directly issued to the monitor without using the memory. Further, the number of scanning lines of the frame does not increase, and the operation can be performed in the same manner as the driving frequency of the first move.
