Two-dimensional solid state image pickup device

摘要

A solid state image pickup device has: a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements for generating and accumulating electric charges corresponding to an amount of incidence light; color filters of a plurality of colors disposed on the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements; a control signal generating unit for independently setting for each color a charge storage time of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements formed with color filters and generating for each color a read control signal of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements; a reading member for reading electric charges from the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements for each color in response to each read control signal; a transfer member for transferring electric charges read by the reading member; and an output member for outputting electric charges transferred by the transfer member to an output circuit.
