Photoelectric conversion device and driving method therefor

摘要

In a photoelectric conversion device for reading signals in succession from plural photoelectric converting elements (S11-S33), arranged two-dimensionally on a substrate, by successively scanning drive lines (g1-g3) in the X-direction thereby transferring signals charges along signal lines in the Y-direction, for reading the signals of the photoelectric converting elements in a partial area, only the arbitrarily selected drive lines for the plural photoelectric converting elements are scanned in succession while the remaining drive lines are not driven or are driven simultaneously for transferring the charges at a timing different from the timing of drive of the arbitrarily selected drive lines.
