SOLID STATE IMAGING APPARATUS, AND IMAGING APPARATUS PROVIDED WITH THE SOLID STATE IMAGING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solid state imaging apparatus capable of making an operation state in a photoelectric converting unit after reset to be a constant state irrespective of incident light amount by changing a bias voltage to be given to the photoelectric converting unit at the time of reset. SOLUTION: A MOS transistor T5 is provided in which a drain is connected to a gate and a drain of a MOS transistor T2 and a direct current voltage VRS is applied to its source. At this time, image data is outputted by making a MOS transistor T4 to be on by giving a signalϕV. Then a reset operation of a pixel is started after making a gate voltage Vg of the MOS transistor T2 to be a constant voltage value by making the MOS transistor T5 to be on after giving a signalϕRS.
