Abstract:
A solid-state imaging device includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, wherein one pixel of the plurality of pixels is arranged in one unit pixel region of a plurality of unit pixel regions, a plurality of sub vertical output lines, each of which outputs pixel signals from the plurality of pixels in the same pixel column, and a plurality of block select circuits provided in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of sub vertical output lines. A load capacitance connected to a main vertical output line is reduced by connecting the plurality of sub vertical output lines and the main vertical output line via the plurality of block select circuits. This makes high-speed pixel signal readout possible.

Claim (Index 12):
A solid-state imaging device comprising:\n a pixel region in which a plurality of unit pixel regions are arranged in a matrix including a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, each of the plurality of unit pixel regions including a photoelectric conversion unit and a source follower circuit configured to output a signal corresponding to an electric charge generated in the photoelectric conversion unit; a first output line connected to the source follower circuit of a first unit pixel region and to the source follower circuit of a second unit pixel region arranged in the same column as the first unit pixel region; and a second output line connected to the source follower circuit of a third unit pixel region arranged in the same column as the second unit pixel region and to the source follower circuit of a fourth unit pixel region arranged in the same column as the third unit pixel region, wherein the first output line is connected to a third output line via a first select circuit, and wherein the second output line is connected to the third output line via a second select circuit.
