Patent ID: 10574928

Abstract:
To reduce influence occurring between signals simultaneously outputted from two pixels of the same pixel column via mutually different signal lines as much as possible. A solid-state imaging element including: a pixel column in which a plurality of pixels are juxtaposed in a column form; three or more juxtaposed signal lines each used for an output of a pixel included in the pixel column; and an A/D conversion section configured to convert an analog voltage outputted by the pixel to the signal line to a digital value. For a first pixel and a second pixel included in the pixel column, signal lines of connection destinations of these pixels are different from each other, and timings of outputs of analog voltages of these pixels to the signal lines coincide, an output from the first pixel to the signal line is permitted and an output from the second pixel to the signal line is disabled in a case where a prescribed number of one or more of signal lines or shield lines do not exist between the signal line that is a connection destination of the first pixel and the signal line that is a connection destination of the second pixel, and both outputs from the first pixel and the second pixel to the signal lines are permitted in a case where the prescribed number or more of signal lines or shield lines exist between the signal line that is a connection destination of the first pixel and the signal line that is a connection destination of the second pixel.
