Solid state imaging apparatus, electronic apparatus, and pixel reading method

摘要

There is provided a solid state imaging apparatus, including a plurality of line sensors including a plurality of pixels arrayed in a line, each of the pixels including an amplifier which amplifies a signal corresponding to a charge accumulated in a photoelectric transducer, and signal lines each for reading a signal of each pixel of the line sensors. The plurality of line sensors are discretely arranged, and the signal lines are gathered and wired along a region in which a circuit block including the line sensors is arranged.

1. A solid state imaging apparatus, comprising:
a plurality of line sensors, each line sensor including a plurality of pixels arrayed in a line, each of the plurality of pixels including an amplifier which amplifies a signal corresponding to a charge accumulated in a photoelectric transducer; a plurality of signal lines electrically coupled to each line sensor, each signal line being electrically coupled to a corresponding pixel; and an Analog-to-Digital (A/D) convertor in communication with the plurality of line sensors, wherein,
the plurality of line sensors are discretely arranged with at least a first line sensor having a first orientation and a second line sensor having a second orientation, the first orientation being different from the second orientation, andthe plurality of signal lines are gathered and wired in a region between the plurality of line sensors and the A/D convertor.
