<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress lowering of a saturated signal amount of a photoelectric conversion part when the size of a photoelectric conversion part is minimized. <P>SOLUTION: A vertical scanning circuit 114 sets a gate of a transfer transistor 102 to first potential V1 in a first period TP1. In addition, the vertical scanning circuit 114 sets the gate of the transfer transistor 102 to a second potential V2 in which difference between a threshold potential Vth and the second potential V2 is larger than that between the threshold potential Vth and the first potential in a second period TP2. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
