Assignee: NIKON CORPORATION
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. The image sensor according to claim 2, further comprising:
a third photoelectric conversion unit that photoelectrically converts light which has transmitted through a third microlens;
a fourth photoelectric conversion unit that photoelectrically converts light which has transmitted through a fourth microlens;
a third transfer transistor that transfers a charge obtained through photoelectric conversion by the third photoelectric conversion unit;
a fourth transfer transistor that transfers a charge obtained through photoelectric conversion by the fourth photoelectric conversion unit;
a third output transistor having a third gate;
a fourth output transistor having a fourth gate;
a fourth connection transistor that connects a drain of the third transfer transistor to the third gate;
a fifth connection transistor that connects a drain of the fourth transfer transistor to the fourth gate; and
a sixth connection transistor that connects the drain of the third transfer transistor to the drain of the fourth transfer transistor, wherein
the second connection transistor is controlled such that the drain of the second transfer transistor and the second gate become a disconnected state when the drain of the first transfer transistor is connected to the drain of the second transfer transistor by the third connection transistor, and
the fourth connection transistor is controlled such that the drain of the third transfer transistor and the third gate become a disconnected state when the drain of the third transfer transistor is connected to the drain of the fourth transfer transistor by the sixth connection transistor.
