Abstract:
An imaging device including: pixel cells arranged in a matrix having rows and columns, the pixel cells including first pixel cells and different second pixel cells, each of the pixel cells having: a photoelectric converter that converts incident light into signal charge, a first transistor having a first gate, a first source and a first drain, the first gate coupled to the photoelectric converter, and a second transistor having a second gate, a second source and a second drain, either the first source or the first drain electrically coupled to the photoelectric converter via the second transistor. The imaging device further including a first line coupled to one of the first source and the first drain of each of the first pixel cells; and a second line coupled to one of the first source and the first drain of each of the second pixel cells.
