SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE

摘要

A trace control unit 61 traces photoelectric conversion characteristics of dummy pixels G2 by varying a current value outputted from constant current sources Id. The constant current sources Id are provided common to respective rows in a dummy pixel section 12 and output a current value according to a setting signal outputted from the trace control unit 61. At this point, the trace control unit 61 instructs a vertical scan circuit 2 to turn off a switch ISW during a predetermined read period in which a read circuit 3 reads pixel signals from the dummy pixels G2.
