Abstract
Disclosed herein is an XY-addressing type solid-state imaging apparatus including: a plurality of pixels arranged in a two-dimensional matrix; and a horizontal and vertical scanning circuits for reading signals of the pixels, wherein the vertical scanning circuit concurrently selects the pixels of n rows (n being an integer of 2 or more) at a first timing to concurrently effect a reset operation of the pixels of the n rows thereof and selects at a second timing subsequent to the first timing the pixels of n rows of the address different from the rows selected at the first timing to effect a reset operation of the pixels of the n rows thereof, reset operation in this manner being repeated to effect a reset operation of all pixels.

An XY-addressing type solid-state imaging apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of pixels arranged in a two-dimensional matrix;
- and
- a horizontal scanning circuit and a vertical scanning circuit for reading signals of the pixels;
- wherein said vertical scanning circuit concurrently selects the pixels of n rows (n being an integer of 2 or more) at a first timing to concurrently effect a reset operation of the pixels of the n rows thereof and selects at a second timing subsequent to the first timing the pixels of n rows of the address different from the rows selected at the first timing to effect a reset operation of the pixels of the n rows thereof, reset operation in this manner being repeated to effect a reset operation of all pixels.
