Abstract:
Provided is an imaging device that includes a plurality of pixels, each of the plurality of pixels including a photoelectric conversion unit configured to accumulate charges generated by an incident light, a first holding unit and a second holding unit configured to hold the charges, an amplification unit configured to output a signal based on the charges, a first transfer switch provided between the photoelectric conversion unit and the first holding unit, a second transfer switch provided between the photoelectric conversion unit and the second holding unit, a third transfer switch provided between the first holding unit and the amplification unit, and a fourth transfer switch provided between the second holding unit and the amplification unit, and outputs a signal including a signal based on actual signal charges and a signal including a signal based on false signal charges.
