Photoelectric converter.

摘要

A photoelectric converter comprises : a photoreceiving element capable of storing photoelectrically produced charge; a detecting circuit for detecting at least either a signal of storage in a photoelectric conversion element, on which light of the highest intensity is incident, or a signal of storage in a photoelectric conversion element, on which light of the lowest intensity is incident; a reading circuit for reading a signal based on photoelectrically produced signal charge out of the photoreceiving element; and a signal processing circuit for processing signal read out from the reading circuit. The element and circuits are provided on a common substrate. The detecting circuit is provided between the photoreceiving element and reading circuit. <IMAGE>
