Abstract:
An imaging device and an endoscopic device can be further miniaturized. A vertical selection unit simultaneously resets charge accumulation units of a plurality of pixels, and then a horizontal selection unit sequentially selects a plurality of first pixel signals corresponding to voltages of the charge accumulation units of the plurality of pixels and inputs the first pixel signals to an output unit. Further, a vertical selection unit simultaneously transfers the signal charges generated by the charge generation units in the plurality of pixels to the charge accumulation units, and then a horizontal selection unit sequentially selects a plurality of second pixel signals corresponding to the voltages of the charge accumulation units of the plurality of pixels and inputs the second pixel signals to the output unit.
