Abstract:
An imaging device including a pixel including: a photoelectric converter including a first electrode, a second electrode, and a first photoelectric conversion layer, the first photoelectric conversion layer generating signal charge, and a transistor having a gate coupled to the first electrode, the transistor outputting a signal corresponding to an amount of the signal charge collected by the first electrode. The imaging device further includes voltage supply circuitry coupled to the second electrode, which, in each of consecutive frame periods, supplies a first voltage two or more times to form exposure periods in which the first signal charge is collected by the first electrode, supplies a second voltage one or more times to form non-exposure periods that separate the exposure periods from each other, and supplies a third voltage in a period when the transistor outputs the signal, and the third voltage is the same between the consecutive frame periods.
