Abstract:
An imaging device comprising: a first pixel cell including a first photoelectric converter generating a first signal, the first photoelectric converter including a first electrode and a first photoelectric conversion region on the first electrode, and a first circuit coupled to the first electrode and detecting the first signal; and a second pixel cell including a second photoelectric converter generating a second signal, the second photoelectric converter including a second electrode and a second photoelectric conversion region on the second electrode, and a second circuit coupled to the second electrode and detecting the second signal. A sensitivity of the first pixel cell is higher than that of the second pixel cell. A circuit configuration of the first circuit is different from that of the second circuit. The first circuit includes a feedback circuit configured to negatively feed back a voltage of the first electrode to the first electrode.
