    Abstract: An imaging device includes a photoelectric converter that generates charge; a first charge transfer channel having a first end electrically connected to the photoelectric converter and a second end, and transferring the charge in a direction from the first end to the second end; a second charge transfer channel diverging from the first charge transfer channel at a first position and transferring a first part of the charge; a third charge transfer channel diverging from the first charge transfer channel at a second position different from the first position in the direction and transferring a part of the second part of the charge; and first and second charge accumulators that accumulate at least a part of the first and second part of the charge respectively. The imaging device does not include a gate that switches between cutoff and transfer of charge, in the first charge transfer channel.

    Abstract: A control method for an imaging element is a control method for an imaging element including a photoelectric converter and a peripheral circuit connected to the photoelectric converter. The control method for the imaging element includes receiving a predetermined input signal, and controlling the imaging element by switching between a normal imaging mode and a low power consumption mode based on the predetermined input signal. In the normal imaging mode, the imaging element is controlled to apply first voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode. In the low power consumption mode, the imaging element is controlled to apply second voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode and to stop part of operation of the peripheral circuit, the second voltage being larger than 0 V and smaller than the first voltage.

    Abstract: An imaging device includes a pixel electrode, a counter electrode, a first quantum dot that includes a first core which generates first signal charge and a first shell, a second quantum dot that includes a second core which generates second signal charge and a second shell. In a case where the potential difference between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode is a first potential difference, the first signal charge does not pass through the first shell and is held in the first core and the second signal charge passes through the second shell and is collected by the pixel electrode. In a case where the potential difference between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode is a second potential difference which is larger than the first potential difference, the first signal charge passes through the first shell and is collected by the pixel electrode.

    Abstract: An imaging device includes a pixel including a permittivity modulation element that includes opposite and pixel electrodes and a permittivity modulation structure whose permittivity changes according to the radiation of light, a capacitive element that includes first and second electrodes, and a detection circuit that outputs a signal corresponding to the potential of the pixel electrode. Also provided are a voltage supply circuit that applies first and second voltages in different first and second periods to one of the opposite electrode and the first electrode, and a signal processing circuit that generates a third signal being a difference between a first signal output from the detection circuit in the first period and a second signal output from the detection circuit in the second period. The potential difference between the opposite electrode and the first electrode when the second voltage is applied is less than when the first voltage is applied.
