Patent ID: 8497460

Claim:
A solid-state image sensor comprising: a pixel having a photoelectric conversion part which converts light into a charge, a charge-voltage conversion part which converts the charge transferred from the photoelectric conversion part into a voltage, a transfer transistor which transfers the charge of the photoelectric conversion part to the charge-voltage conversion part, an amplifying transistor which generates a signal based on a voltage of the charge-voltage conversion part, a selection transistor which selects whether or not to output a signal from the amplifying transistor, a reset transistor which resets a charge of the charge-voltage conversion part, and connection wiring which connects the charge-voltage conversion part to the amplifying transistor and the reset transistor; a vertical signal line which transmits a signal output from the amplifying transistor; and a control unit which controls the reset transistor and the selection transistor so that the selection transistor is in the on state when the reset transistor changes from the on state to the off state during a reset period in which a charge of the photoelectric conversion part is reset.
