Solid-state image pickup device and image pickup device

A solid-state image pickup device comprising:

• a plurality of light receiving portions grouped into pixel blocks having at least two light receiving portions per pixel block, wherein each light receiving portion generates electric charge based on an amount of received light;
• a plurality of detectors, each detector being provided for a respective light receiving portion and detecting photoelectric current that is generated based on electric charge generated in the respective light receiving portion;
• an integration node that integrates outputs of detectors of a pixel block;
• a generator that generates voltage signals based on the electric charge generated in each of the plurality of light receiving portions;
• and
• a driving circuit that causes the generator to generate the voltage signals for a pixel block based on the integrated outputs.

An image pickup device comprising:

• an imaging lens;
• and
• a solid-state image pickup device comprising:
• a plurality of light receiving portions grouped into pixel blocks having at least two light receiving portions per pixel block, wherein each light receiving portion generates electric charge based on an amount of received light;
• an integration node that integrates photoelectric currents output from a pixel block, wherein the photoelectric currents are generated based on electric charge generated in light receiving portions of a pixel block;
• a detector provided for each pixel block and that detects the integrated photoelectric currents;
