Abstract:
When the amplification ratio is low and strong incident light causes a large charge, the signal retrieved from regions where the incident light is weak is also weak, but when the amplification ratio is high in regions where the incident light is weak, the signal retrieved from regions where the incident light is strong becomes saturated. Therefore, the dynamic range of the imaging unit is narrow. Provided is an imaging unit comprising an imaging section that includes a first group having one or more pixels and a second group having one or more pixels different from those of the first group; and a control section that, while a single charge accumulation is performed in the first group, causes pixel signals to be output by performing charge accumulation in the second group a number of times differing from a number of times charge accumulation is performed in the first group.

Claim (Index 6):
The imaging sensor according to  claim 4 , wherein\n in response to the first control signal, the first transistor resets a potential of a first floating diffusion to which the charge is transferred from the respective first photoelectric converter, and in response to the second control signal, the second transistor resets a potential of a second floating diffusion to which the charge is transferred from the respective second photoelectric converter.
