SOLID-STATE IMAGE PICKUP DEVICE AND SOLID-STATE IMAGING SYSTEM EMPLOYING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solid-state image pickup device that makes the potential fluctuations constant at a cathode terminal of each photodiode at pixel selection so as to suppress noises. SOLUTION: Each pixel cell 1 of the solid-state image pickup device placed on the n-th row and the m-th column selected by a pulse signalϕVn being a first signal and a pulse signalϕHm being a second signal respectively outputted from a vertical scanning circuit 11 and a horizontal scanning circuit 12 includes a horizontal selection MOS transistor 9a that selects each pixel cell so that a time from a selected time THm to a time of reading a pixel signal of each pixel cell 1 is respectively equal to each pixel cell 1.
