Abstract:
An imaging device includes: a photoelectric converter generating a signal; a signal detection circuit detecting the signal and including a first transistor having a first control terminal connected to the photoelectric converter, a first input terminal, and a first output terminal, a second transistor having a second control terminal connected to the photoelectric converter, a second input terminal, and a second output terminal, a third transistor having a third control terminal, a third input terminal, and a third output terminal, one of the third input and output terminal connected to one of the second input and output terminal; an output signal line connected to one of the first input and output terminal, and to the other of the third input and output terminal; and a voltage supply circuit connected to the third control terminal, selectively supplying a first voltage or a second voltage to the third control terminal.
