Solid-state imaging element and imaging device

Abstract

[Object] To provide a solid-state imaging element and an imaging device that can enlarge the dynamic range and convert even a small amount of photoelectrically-converted electric charges into an image signal. [Solving Means] According to the present disclosure, provided is a solid-state imaging element including a photoelectric conversion unit that generates electric charges according to an amount of received light, a first electric charge holding unit that is connected to the photoelectric conversion unit via a first node, a comparator that outputs a first signal when a potential of the first node and a predetermined potential coincide with each other, a reset unit that sets the first node to a reset potential according to the first signal, and a counting unit that counts and outputs the first signal, and in a first mode, the reset potential applied to the first node changes in time series.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
