IMAGING DEVICE, IMAGING SYSTEM AND IMAGING DEVICE DRIVING METHOD Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC H04N5/335 H01L27/146 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: imaging device includes a pixel unit, a transistor amplifier and a control unit. The pixel unit includes a first photoelectric conversion unit which generates a first charge based on incident light of a first colour, a second photoelectric conversion unit which generates a second charge based on incident light of a first colour and a third photoelectric conversion unit which generates a third charge based on incident light of a second colour. The transistor amplifier is common for the first to third photoelectric conversion units and outputs a signal based on the first, second and third charges generated by the first, second and third photoelectric conversion units, respectively. The control unit sets the pixel unit to a selected state or an unselected state according to the electric potential of the control terminal of the transistor amplifier.

EFFECT: high image quality.
