Abstract
Reduced size CMOS active pixel circuit uses special transistors with their gates and sources connected together. This transistor is placed at the top of the pixel.
Claims4
An active pixel unit, comprising:
- a charge accumulating part, having a capability of accumulating charge therein;
- a photoreceptor, connected to said charge accumulating part, and changing an amount of charge therein based on an applied received charge;
- a reset transistor, having its drain and gate connected together, and connected to reset said charge accumulating part;
- and
- a select transistor, also having its drain and gate connected together, and connected to select an output of said charge accumulating part.
