Abstract:
Provided is an imaging device including a pixel array including a plurality of pixels arranged to form a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, each of the plurality of pixels generates signals in accordance with an incident light; a first output line and a second output line that are arranged corresponding to each of the plurality of columns of the pixel array and transmit signals output from the pixels arranged on a corresponding column; a scanning unit that drives the pixel array so as to output signals from at least two of the pixels arranged on different rows of a single column respectively to the first output line and the second output line; and an output line control unit that provide potentials that are different from each other to the first output line and the second output line, respectively, in a test mode.

Claim (Index 3):
The imaging device according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein each of the plurality of pixels included in the pixel array includes\n a photoelectric conversion element configured to generate charges in accordance with an incident light by photoelectric conversion, \n a transfer transistor configured to transfer charges generated by the photoelectric conversion element, \n an amplification transistor having an input node to which charges are transferred from the photoelectric conversion element by the transfer transistor and configured to output a signal in accordance with a potential of the input node, and \n a reset transistor configured to reset the potential of the input node, and \n wherein, in the test mode, the output line control unit controls the scanning unit to turn off the reset transistor of a pixel which outputs a signal to the first output line, maintain the reset transistor of a pixel to be turned on which outputs a signal to the second output line, and output a signal from the pixels with the input node being reset.
