摘要： The solid-state image sensor of the present invention includes: multiple different types of pixel groups, which exhibit mutually different sensitivity properties that vary from one group to another according to wavelengths of incoming light, wherein each pixel has a photoelectric converter for outputting a pixel signal that changes with the intensity of the light received, and a reading circuit, which reads the pixel signal from each of the multiple types of pixel groups and which outputs an image signal representing an image that is associated with the type of a pixel group. The reading circuit outputs the image signal with the frame frequency changed according to the type of the pixel group.

摘要： Provided is a solid-state imaging device including a plurality of vertical transfer units (VCCDs), a horizontal transfer unit (HCCD) and a driving unit. In a vertical final stage of the VCCDs, there are same transfer electrode structures in every m columns, where m is equal to or more than 2, the vertical final stage being a vertical transfer stage located the closest to the HCCD, in each vertical final stage of columns except one column among the m columns or of all columns among the m columns, there are transfer electrodes independent from electrodes in the other columns in the m columns, and the independent transfer electrodes are driven independently to perform transfer processing from the corresponding vertical final stage to the HCCD, the driving being independent from driving for the electrodes in the other columns in the m columns, and the driving unit performs sequential vertical transfer driving, by which first packets and second packets are sequentially and vertically transferred within one horizontal transfer period, the first packet including a signal component to be used as an image signal and the second packet not including any signal component to be used as an image signal, and to apply, in the sequential vertical transfer driving, respective transfer pulses to the transfer electrodes in the vertical transfer stage and transfer electrodes of the HCCD, so that the first packets and the second packets are separated to be allocated into respective different horizontal transfer stages of the HCCD.
