Abstract:
In order to provide an imaging device suitable for suppressing a reduction of the frame rate without deteriorating the image quality, a sensor includes two photodiodes for receiving incident light through a microlens, a first transfer transistor that transfers the output electric charges of the first photodiode when a first transfer control signal becomes active, a second transfer transistor that transfers the output electric charges of the second photodiode when a second transfer control signal becomes active, a first output signal line that transmits a first pixel signal depending on the transferred electric charges by the first transfer transistor, and a second output signal line that transmits a second pixel signal depending on the transferred electric charges by the second transfer transistor.
