Abstract

本発明は、簡単な構成で、良質な画像を得ることができるイメージセンサに関する。 画素は、入射光を光電変換して電荷を蓄積し、電荷に応じた画素信号を出力する。垂直走査回路は、画素を制御し、画素に蓄積されている不要な電荷を排出させるシャッタ処理、所定の露光時間で光電変換された電荷を画素に蓄積させる電荷蓄積処理、および、電荷蓄積処理で画素に蓄積されている電荷に応じた画素信号を出力させるリード処理を行わせる。また、制御手段は、シャッタ処理が行われる期間、電荷蓄積処理が行われる期間、およびリード処理が行われる期間以外の期間である非蓄積期間に、画素で光電変換される電荷を排出させる。本発明は、例えば、CMOSセンサに適用できる。
