IMAGE PICKUP DEVICE AND IMAGE PICKUP SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the number of wirings in the horizontal direction and to secure an opening ratio. SOLUTION: In an image pickup device where plural unit cells each of which is provided with plural photoelectric conversion parts PD and amplification means MSF and MSEL shared among plural photoelectric conversion parts are arranged, threshold voltages of transfer switches MTX to transfer the signals from photoelectric conversion parts to amplification means are different among respective photoelectric conversion parts, or transistors different between at least two photoelectric conversion parts by conduction types are used as transfer switches MTX to transfer the signals from photoelectric conversion parts to amplification means.
