摘要： A solid-state image pickup device includes an adder adding signals from pixels to achieve a high S/N, while performing both static image and moving image pickup. The device has a pixel unit having pixels arranged two-dimensionally and outputs pixel signals derived by photoelectric conversion. The device operates in a first mode of reading a pixel signal of every pixel, and a second mode of adding and reading a plurality of pixel signals. Variable gain column amplifiers perform readout at different gains in the first and second modes. The device also has output lines where output signals from the pixels arranged in one line are outputted respectively, and at least one of the variable gain amplifier is connected to each of the output lines. The gain at the time of readout in the second mode is higher than the gain at the time of readout in the first mode.

摘要： A high-density impurity semiconductor region having the same conductivity type as a single-crystal silicon substrate is formed in addition to a main circuit portion of a peripheral circuit on the single-crystal silicon substrate. This semiconductor region is connected to a given potential point directly leading to an electric source. Alternatively, at a part of the peripheral drive circuit, a high-density impurity semiconductor region having a conductivity type reverse to that of the single-crystal silicon substrate is formed, and this semiconductor region is connected to a given potential point directly leading to an electric source. This can solve the problem that photocarriers (electrons and/or holes) caused by the light having not cut off and having entered into the single-crystal silicon region may enter into the peripheral drive circuit through the single-crystal silicon substrate to cause misoperation of the circuit.

摘要： The present invention solves problems as follows: a problem that, since light for displaying enters into a semiconductor substrate, carrier induced by light occurs in the semiconductor substrate, potential of the substrate fluctuates, and hence display characteristics become worse; a problem that, in the semiconductor substrate, voltages are applied to the peripheral driving circuits so as to operate the peripheral driving circuits formed in a single-crystal area, which makes display characteristics worse by the voltages being conducted to the display area through the substrate; and a problem that, in case potentials of adjacent pixels greatly differ, the difference locally changes. For this purpose, in a display unit including an active matrix substrate having an image display portion being provided with a plurality of switches and a driving circuit for supplying driving signals to the switches around the image display portion, an opposing substrate opposing the active matrix substrate and having a transparent electrode, and a liquid crystal material between both of the active matrix substrate and the opposing substrate, heavily doped impurity regions having impurity density heavier than that of the semiconductor substrate are formed in the image display portion, and the heavily doped impurity regions are connected to a fixed potential around the image display portion.
