    摘要: One embodiment includes sequentially resetting rows and applying a gating signal to the rows sequentially in order in which the rows are reset; accumulating at each of the rows photocharge generated in response to an optical signal reflected from an object and the gating signal for an integration time; and reading a result of photocharge accumulation from each of the rows. A phase of the gating signal applied to a row with respect to which the reading has been completed, may be changed. A period of photocharge accumulation based on the gating signal having a changed phase in at least one row, which has been subjected to the reading and then reset, may overlap a period of photocharge accumulation in at least one row in which photocharge accumulation based on the gating signal having a phase before being changed is being carried out.
