Abstract:
A solid-state imaging device includes a plurality of pixels and a pixel control circuit. The pixel control circuit is configured to control the signal transfer circuit so that an imaging operation is performed simultaneously in the plurality of pixel group units and a plurality of imaging operations are performed in each of the plurality of pixel group units. In each of the plurality of imaging operations, an imaging signal output from at least one of two or more photoelectric conversion elements included in each of the plurality of pixel group units is transferred to one of two or more memories included in each of the plurality of pixel group units. Each of the two or more memories included in each of the plurality of pixel group units holds the imaging signal in a predetermined order.

Claim (Index 1):
A solid-state imaging device, comprising:\n a plurality of pixels; and a pixel control circuit, wherein each of the plurality of pixels includes\n a photoelectric conversion element configured to perform imaging and output an imaging signal; \n a memory configured to hold the imaging signal; \n a signal transfer circuit configured to transfer the imaging signal output from the photoelectric conversion element to the memory; and \n a signal output circuit configured to output the imaging signal held in the memory to a signal line, \n each of the plurality of pixels is included in any one of a plurality of pixel group units, each of the plurality of pixel group units includes two or more of the pixels, the pixel control circuit controls the signal transfer circuit so that an imaging operation is performed simultaneously in the plurality of pixel group units and a plurality of imaging operations are performed in each of the plurality of pixel group units, the imaging signal output from at least one of the two or more photoelectric conversion elements included in each of the plurality of pixel group units is transferred to one of the two or more memories included in each of the plurality of pixel group units in each of the plurality of imaging operations, each of the two or more memories included in each of the plurality of pixel group units is configured to hold the imaging signal in a predetermined order, and at least one of the imaging signals held in the memory in each of the plurality of imaging operations is output to the signal line in a period in which any one of the plurality of imaging operations is performed or in a period after the plurality of imaging operations have ended.
