    Abstract: An imaging apparatus comprises a semiconductor substrate, a photoelectric converter, a charge storage region, and an amplification transistor. The photoelectric converter includes a pixel electrode, a counter electrode, and a photoelectric conversion layer. The photoelectric conversion layer is positioned above the semiconductor substrate and is disposed between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode. Charge generated by the photoelectric converter is stored in the charge storage region. The amplification transistor includes a source, a drain, and a gate electrode. The gate electrode is electrically connected to the charge storage region. In a plan view, the width of the drain of the amplification transistor is less than the width of the source of the amplification transistor.

    Abstract: An imaging device having a pixel including a photoelectric converter that converts incident light into charges, and a reset transistor having a first source, a first drain and a first gate, one of the first source and the first drain coupled to the photoelectric converter. The imaging device further including first voltage generating circuity that generates a first voltage; second voltage generating circuity that generates a second voltage, the second voltage generating circuity being different from the first voltage generating circuity; and first switching circuity that causes either the first voltage generating circuity or the second voltage generating circuity to selectively couple to the other of the first source and the first drain of the reset transistor.

    Abstract: A method for controlling an imaging device having a first mode to perform imaging in a first imaging wavelength band and a second mode to perform imaging in a second imaging wavelength band different from the first imaging wavelength band, and that allows switching of an operation mode from the first mode to the second mode or from the second mode to the first mode. The method including causing the imaging device to perform imaging in the first mode or the second mode; determining, with a predetermined frequency or in response to a predetermined trigger, whether to maintain a current operation mode or switch the current operation mode on the basis of first image information in the first imaging wavelength band and second image information in the second imaging wavelength band; and in accordance with the determination, selectively maintaining the current operation mode or switching the current operation mode.
