IMAGING DEVICE, DRIVING METHOD AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An imaging device comprising:
- a plurality of pixels disposed to form a matrix having pixel rows, the pixels includinga pixel electrode formed on a silicon substrate for one of said pixels by being separated away from another pixel electrodes formed for one of the other pixels,a photoelectric conversion film formed on said pixel electrode, andan opposite electrode formed on said photoelectric conversion film; and
a driving section configured to apply an electric potential to said photoelectric conversion film on each of said pixel rows at least having read timings different from each other with a predetermined timing outside an exposure period of said pixels in a direction opposite to that of an electric potential applied to said photoelectric conversion film during said exposure period of said pixels.

8. A driving method for driving an imaging device including a plurality of pixels disposed to form a matrix having pixel rows, the pixels including
a pixel electrode formed on a silicon substrate for one of said pixels by being separated away from another pixel electrodes formed for one of the other pixels; -
a photoelectric conversion film formed on said pixel electrode; and an opposite electrode formed on said photoelectric conversion film, said driving method comprising applying an electric potential to said photoelectric conversion film on each of said pixel rows at least having read timings different from each other with a predetermined timing outside an exposure period of said pixels in a direction opposite to that of an electric potential applied to said photoelectric conversion film during said exposure period of said pixels.
