SOLID-STATE IMAGE CAPTURING ELEMENT, DRIVE METHOD THEREFOR, AND IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE

摘要

In a solid-state imaging element having a phase difference AF function and a monocular 3D imaging function, a signal of each pixel is read out appropriately. A pixel pair (25) includes a first pixel readout transistor (40), a second pixel readout transistor (41), an electric charge accumulator (42), a reset transistor (43), an amplifier transistor (44), and a row selection transistor (45). The first pixel readout transistor (40) reads out signal charge of a first pixel (21). The second pixel readout transistor (41) reads out signal charge of a second pixel (22). The electric charge accumulator (42) temporarily accumulates the signal charge read out from each pixel. The reset transistor (43) resets the electric charge accumulator (42). The amplifier transistor (44) converts the signal charge accumulated in the electric charge accumulator (42) into signal voltage, and outputs the signal voltage. The row selection transistor (45) selects a row from which the signal voltage is to be transferred to vertical signal lines (50).
