    摘要: An embodiment includes: a pixel unit including first and second imaging regions arranged with effective pixels and first and second reference regions arranged with optical black pixels; and a scanning unit that performs, on a row-by-row basis, reset operations of photoelectric converters and readout operations of pixel signals based on charges generated in the photoelectric converters which includes charge transfer to transfer charges generated in the photoelectric converters to holding portions. The scanning unit drives the pixels in the first imaging region and the first reference region in a first condition where a period from the end of reset operation to the end of charge transfer is a first length and drives the pixels in the second imaging region and the second reference region in a second condition where a period from the end of reset operation to the end of charge transfer is a second length.

    摘要: An imaging device includes pixels each including first and second photoelectric conversion units on which pupil-divided parts of incident light are incident and a holding unit that holds charges transferred from the first and second photoelectric conversion units, and outputting signals based on amounts of charges held by the holding unit. Each pixel outputs a first signal and a second signal based on amounts of charges generated by the first photoelectric conversion unit and by the first and second photoelectric conversion units, respectively, during a first exposure time, and a third signal and a fourth signal based on amounts of charges generated by the first photoelectric conversion unit and by the first and second photoelectric conversion units, respectively, during a second exposure time. The first and second signals are output before the third and fourth signals in one frame and after the third and fourth signals in another frame.
