Abstract:
A solid-state imaging device includes a pixel array section that has at least one pixel with a photoelectric conversion unit and a charge detection unit. A driving section is configured to read out a signal of the pixel, a first portion of said signal being based on signal charge, a second portion of said signal being based on a reset potential. A signal processing section is configured to read out the first portion of the signal as a reference voltage, with the reference voltage being adjusted to cause the first and second portions of the signal to be within an input voltage range.

Claim (Index 12):
An imaging device comprising:\n a pixel configured to output a pixel signal; a signal line configured to read out the pixel signal; and a comparator including:\n first and second differential transistors, \n a first capacitor disposed between a gate of the first differential transistor and a reference signal generation section configured to supply a reference signal, \n a second capacitor disposed between a gate of the second differential transistor and the signal line, \n a first circuit disposed between the gate of the first differential transistor and one of a source or a drain of the first differential transistor, \n a third transistor disposed between the gate of the first differential transistor and a first line, the first line being configured to receive a predetermined voltage, \n a second circuit disposed between the gate of the second differential transistor and one of a source or a drain of the second differential transistor, and \n a fourth transistor disposed between the gate of the second differential transistor and a second line, the second line being configured to receive the predetermined voltage.
