IMAGING DEVICE INCLUDING PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERTER
First Claim
1. An imaging device comprising:
- a photoelectric converter generating a signal;
a signal detection circuit detecting the signal, the signal detection circuit includinga first transistor having a first control terminal connected to the photoelectric converter, a first input terminal, and a first output terminal,a second transistor having a second control terminal connected to the photoelectric converter, a second input terminal, and a second output terminal,a third transistor having a third control terminal, a third input terminal, and a third output terminal, one of the third input terminal and the third output terminal connected to one of the second input terminal and the second output terminal;
an output signal line connected to one of the first input terminal and the first output terminal, and to the other of the third input terminal and the third output terminal; and
a voltage supply circuit connected to the third control terminal, selectively supplying a first voltage or a second voltage different from the first voltage, to the third control terminal.
