发明名称 ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND DRIVING METHOD THEREFOR
摘要 An electronic apparatus includes: a pixel array section in which pixels including photoelectric conversion sections that generate signal charges corresponding to amounts of light, charge accumulation sections that receive the signal charges from the corresponding photoelectric conversion sections and that are shared thereby, and pixel transistors that read out the signal charges generated by the corresponding photoelectric conversion sections and that are shared thereby are two-dimensionally arranged in a matrix; a solid-state image capture device including a scanner that can drive the pixels so that exposure periods of all of the pixels are simultaneously started, that can drive the pixels so that the exposure periods of all of the pixels are simultaneously ended, and that sequentially selects and scans the pixels in readout periods; and a mechanical shutter that determines an end of the exposure periods for still-image shooting.

主权项 1. An electronic device comprising: a solid-state device including a pixel array unit on which pixels are two-dimensionally arranged in a matrix form, the pixels each including a photoelectric conversion unit that generates a signal charge according to an amount of light, a charge accumulation unit that receives the signal charge from the photoelectric conversion unit and is shared between a plurality of photoelectric conversion units, and a plurality of pixel transistors each of which reads the signal charge generated by the photoelectric conversion unit and is shared between the plurality of photoelectric conversion units, anda scanning unit capable of driving the pixels during an exposure period in a manner that the exposure period concurrently begins for all of the pixels, and capable of driving the pixels in a manner that the exposure period also concurrently terminates for all of the pixels, and configured to selectively scan the pixels in order during a reading period; and a mechanical shutter configured to decide when the exposure period terminates in capturing a still image, wherein the plurality of photoelectric conversion units that share the pixel transistors are configured to photoelectrically convert light of a same color, wherein columns including pixels for photoelectrically converting green light and columns on which pixels for photoelectrically converting red light and pixels for photoelectrically converting blue light are arranged two by two in a column direction are alternately arranged on the pixels, and wherein the charge accumulation unit is shared between two pixels of a same color adjacent to each other in the column direction.
