FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: in a 3-transistor-driven pixel circuit 11, the drain of a reset transistor 113 is connected to a drive signal line DRNL (n), and the drain of an amplifier transistor 114 is connected to a source voltage VDD. A row drive circuit 12a quickly decreases the voltage level applied to the drive signal line DRNL (n) from a high-level voltage VH to a lowest level voltage VLL, then increases it from the lowest level voltage VLL to a low-level voltage VL, and then gradually returns it to the high-level voltage VH.
EFFECT: reducing noise, including a spurious signal, enabling high-speed pixel reading.
