Abstract:
An imaging device includes: pixel cells arranged in a matrix having rows and columns and including first and second pixel cells in one of the columns, each pixel cell comprising a photoelectric converter and a signal detection circuit detecting an electrical signal in the photoelectric converter and outputting an output signal; first and second output signal lines through which the output signals are output from each of the first and second pixel cells, respectively; and first and second feedback circuits that form, for each of the first and second pixel cells, first and second feedback paths negatively feeding back the electrical signals, respectively. The first and second pixel cells are arranged every n rows in the one of the columns where that n is an integer equal to or greater than two, the rows respectively having the first pixel cells being different from those respectively having the second pixel cells.
