Abstract:
A photoelectric conversion device includes a pixel region in which pixels are arranged to form rows and columns, control lines each connected to the pixels on a corresponding row, output lines connected to the pixels on a corresponding column, a pixel control unit configured to supply control signals to control the pixels for the control lines, and a signal processing unit configured to select and output a signal output to the output lines. The pixel region includes readout regions each including a block of the pixels arranged on continuous rows and columns, and at least one row includes both of the pixel of the block forming a first readout region and the pixel of the block forming a second readout region. The pixel control unit and the signal processing unit are configured to read out signals of the pixels in a corresponding block sequentially for each of the readout regions.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of driving a photoelectric conversion device that includes a pixel region including a plurality of pixels arranged to form a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns and each including a photoelectric converter, a plurality of control lines provided on respective of the plurality of rows and each connected to the pixels arranged on a corresponding row of the plurality of rows, and a plurality of output lines provided on respective of the plurality of columns and each connected to the pixels arranged on a corresponding column of the plurality of columns, wherein a plurality of readout regions each formed of a block of the pixels arranged on continuous rows and on continuous columns are defined in the pixel region in which two or more of the readout regions are arranged on at least one row of the plurality of rows, the method comprising:\n scanning the control lines and the output lines associated with the readout regions and reading out signals of the pixels in a corresponding block sequentially for each of the readout regions.
