Abstract:
A method of driving a unit pixel may include activating a transfer signal prior to an activation of a reset signal to boost a floating diffusion node of the unit pixel, during a first section of a photodiode reset period; and activating a reset signal using a hard reset, during a second section of the photodiode reset period.
