Abstract:
A solid-state image pickup device 1 includes a photodetecting section 10, a signal readout section 20, a controlling section 30, and a correction processing section 40. In the photodetecting section 10, M×N pixel units P1,1 to PM,N each including a photodiode that generates charge of an amount according to an incident light intensity and a readout switch connected to the photodiode are two-dimensionally arrayed in M rows and N columns. A charge generated in each pixel unit Pm,n is input to an integration circuit Sn through a readout wiring line LO,n, and a voltage value output from the integration circuit Sn according to the charge amount is output to an output wiring line Lout through a holding circuit Hn. In the correction processing section 40, a correction processing is applied to respective frame data output from the signal readout section 20, and the frame data after the correction processing is output. Accordingly, a solid-state image pickup device that allows acquiring a high-resolution image by correcting pixel data when any readout wiring line is disconnected is realized.
