Abstract:
An image sensor (102) includes a photoelectric conversion unit (10) that generates a photoelectric charge, a sense node (SN) (21) that is connected to the photoelectric conversion unit (10) and holds the photoelectric charge generated by the photoelectric conversion unit (10), a discharge transistor (15) for discharging the photoelectric charge held by the sense node (SN) (21) to the outside, and a voltage control unit (114) that controls a voltage value of an off voltage to be applied to a gate of the discharge transistor (15) when the discharge transistor (15) is turned off.
