IMAGE PICKUP SENSOR, DRIVING METHOD THEREFOR, AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS

摘要

An image pickup sensor that can properly carry out correction processing on noise components at high speed without bringing about an increase in cost. In an effective pixel region, pixels for obtaining image pickup signals used as a picked-up image are arranged. A plurality of reference pixel regions in which pixels for obtaining reference signals for the image pickup signals are arranged are disposed adjacent to opposing sides of the effective pixel region. A holding unit holds the image pickup signals obtained from the effective pixel region and the reference signals obtained from the plurality of reference pixel regions, the image pickup signals and the reference signals vertically scanned on a row-by-row basis. A horizontal scanning unit that horizontally scans the image pickup signals and the reference signals held by the holding unit horizontally scans the reference signals held by the holding unit before the image pickup signals.
