Abstract
A solid-state imaging device includes a pixel array unit in which pixels having photoelectric converting elements configured to accumulate electric signals in accordance with the quantity of received light and detecting units configured to detect the electric signals accumulated using the photoelectric converting elements are arrayed in a matrix and a timing signal generator configured to generate a timing signal with which an electric signal accumulation time period of each of respective pixels constituting the pixel array unit is set to be a time period obtained by adding a time period calculated on the basis of a position where each of the respective pixels constituting the pixel array unit is arranged to a predetermined time period.
Claims5
A solid-state imaging device comprising:
- a pixel array unit in which pixels having photoelectric converting elements configured to accumulate electric signals in accordance with the quantity of received light and detecting units configured to detect the electric signals accumulated using the photoelectric converting elements are arrayed in a matrix;
- and
- a timing signal generator configured to generate a timing signal with which an electric signal accumulation time period of each of respective pixels constituting the pixel array unit is set to be a time period obtained by adding a time period calculated on the basis of a position where each of the respective pixels constituting the pixel array unit is arranged to a predetermined time period.
A camera comprising:
- a pixel array unit in which pixels having photoelectric converting elements configured to accumulate electric signals in accordance with the quantity of received light and detecting units configured to detect the electric signals accumulated using the photoelectric converting elements are arrayed in a matrix;
- an optical system configured to guide incident light to the pixel array unit;
- and
- a timing signal generator configured to generate a timing signal with which an electric signal accumulation time period of each of respective pixels constituting the pixel array unit is set as a time period obtained by adding a time period calculated on the basis of a position where each of the respective pixels constituting the pixel array unit is arranged to a predetermined time period.
