    摘要: In a MOS type sensor including a floating diffusion (FD) amplifier in each pixel, the number of pulse lines is reduced, so as to improve the numerical aperture. For this purpose, a read pulse for a read transistor of a first pixel and a reset pulse for a reset transistor of a second pixel adjacent to the first pixel in a column direction are supplied through a common gate line; a LOW level potential of a drain line connected to a drain region (a region for supplying a pulse voltage to an FD portion through the reset transistor) of the first pixel is set to a potential higher than a potential depth of a photodiode of the first pixel in resetting the second pixel; and potential below the gate of the reset transistor of the first pixel obtained by applying a LOW level voltage to this gate is set to a potential higher than the LOW level potential of the drain line.

    摘要: The consumed power of a MOS type sensor including a floating diffusion (FD) amplifier in each pixel is reduced. For this purpose, drain regions (regions for supplying a pulse voltage to FD portions through reset transistors) of unit pixels are connected to different drain lines row by row, so as to selectively supply a power pulse to each row. The power pulse is set to a HIGH level potential at least during a period when signal charge stored in the FD portion is reset and a period when the signal charge stored in the FD portion is detected.

    摘要: In a solid-state imaging device, a plurality of vertical charge transfer paths is arranged at a horizontal pitch A within a photoelectric conversion region, and at a pitch B that is smaller than the pitch A in a portion where the signals are input into the horizontal charger transfer path. A read-out amplifier and a horizontal charge transfer path for receiving signals from vertical charge transfer paths are provided for each photoelectric conversion block into which the photoelectric conversion region has been partitioned. The read-out amplifiers have the same shape and their positional relation is one of parallel displacement in regions that are obtained by changing the pitch of the vertical charge transfer portions. Thus, a solid-state imaging device is achieved that is not so easily influenced by mask misalignments or skewed ion implantation angles, and in which signal read-out at high speeds is possible.

    摘要: In a learning process, first, images having different resolutions are obtained from a target region of the subject (S101). Further, the subject characteristic of the target region is obtained (S102). Then, the resolution conversion rules are learned from the images having different resolutions, and those are recorded to a storage device along with the subject characteristics (S103). When converting the resolutions, the resolution conversion rules learned for the corresponding subject characteristics are applied to each region of the original image so as to convert the resolutions of the original image.
