    摘要: An imaging element includes a photoelectric conversion element, a readout transistor, an accumulated element, a detection transistor, and a reset transistor. The readout transistor reads a signal charge when a gate potential to be supplied to the gate terminal is changed from a first state to a second state. The detection transistor detects a voltage signal after the gate potential to be supplied to the gate terminal of the readout transistor is changed from the second state to the first state. A reset potential supplied from the reset transistor to the accumulated element has an intermediate potential between the gate potential in the first state that is supplied to the gate terminal of the readout transistor and a predetermined VDD potential.

    摘要: In a video signal processing apparatus for generating a video signal in a prescribed format by capturing output of a solid-state imaging element that is driven by corresponding to each timing of horizontal scanning and vertical scanning, a first signal processing circuit generates a first video signal by performing the first signal processing on an analog video signal that is continuously outputted from the solid-state imaging element by a horizontal-line unit. An A/D converter circuit generates the first video data by converting the first video signal to digital information. A memory circuit stores the first video data at least by one horizontal-line unit, and reads out the first video data with a delay of a prescribed delay period. A second signal processing circuit generates the second video data by performing the second signal processing on the first video data that is read out from the memory circuit.

    摘要: A solid state imaging device includes an imaging circuit 50 and a signal processing circuit 51. The imaging circuit 50 includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix and outputs signals of the pixels line by line as an imaging signal containing a discontinuous portion. The signal processing circuit 51 has a memory 54 which temporarily stores the imaging signal and a memory controller 53 which writes and reads the imaging signal to and from the memory 54. The signal processing circuit converts the imaging signal containing the discontinuous portion into a continuous image signal.
