Abstract:
An imaging device includes pixels each including a photoelectric converter generating charges, a holding portion holding charges transferred from the photoelectric converter, and an amplifier unit outputting a signal based on charges transferred from the holding portion. Each pixel outputs, to an output line, a signal based on charges generated by the photoelectric converter during an exposure period including a first period during which the photoelectric converter holds charges generated in the first period and a second period during which the photoelectric converter or the holding portion holds charges generated in the second period while the holding portion is holding charges generated in the first period, and resets the holding portion after outputting a signal based on charges held in the holding portion in the first period and before transferring charges generated in the first period from the photoelectric converter to the holding portion.
