IMAGE SENSOR, ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, AND DRIVING METHOD OF ELECTRONIC APPARATUS

摘要

An image sensor that has a pixel array section in which pixels are arrayed in a two-dimensional manner in vertical and horizontal directions and that controls an exposure time of each pixel in a rolling shutter method is disclosed. The sensor includes control means for determining an electronic shutter occurrence number within one horizontal scanning period, which is the number of rows where electronic shutters are simultaneously performed in one horizontal scanning period, by an operation based on an address addition amount (P1, P2, P3, . . . , PN) when a vertical address movement amount of the pixel array section for every one horizontal scanning period in an exposure regulation shutter, which is an electronic shutter for regulating exposure, executed corresponding to electric charge reading in each pixel is expressed as repetition of the address addition amount (P1, P2, P3, . . . , PN).

主权项

1. An image sensor, comprising:
a pixel array section configured to have two or more rows, each which includes a plurality of pixels; a control section configured to generate a control signal to read pixel signal from the pixel array section; and a driving section configured to control the pixel array section based on the control signal, wherein the driving section is configured to control at least first row to read the pixel signal and at least second row to reset the pixels simultaneously.
