Abstract:
1. A method of operating an imaging device, comprising: during a first driving state of a first signal line, supplying a first signal from a first signal output to a plurality of pixel cells via said first signal line; during a second driving state of said first signal line, supplying a second signal from a second signal output to said plurality of pixel cells via said first signal line, said first signal having a different voltage than said second signal; during a third driving state of said first signal line, transmitting neither said first nor said second signal to said first signal line; transmitting a control signal from a controller, said control signal causing an isolation device to block said supplying of said second signal from said second signal output to said plurality of pixel cells for a time period starting before and ending after a time t when said supplying of said first signal from said first signal output to said first signal line is started; and interposing said third driving state between said first and second driving states based on said control signal.
