Abstract:
An image sensor comprising: a pixel array in which a plurality of unit pixels are arranged in a matrix; a plurality of signal output lines provided for each column of the pixel array; a signal readout circuit provided for each column of the pixel array; and a control circuit for controlling a signal from the unit pixel of each column in a first row to be output to any of the signal output lines, and controlling the signal output to the any of the signal output lines to be input to the signal readout circuit. The control circuit controls, for each column, a signal from the unit pixel in a second row to be output to another of the signal lines while the signal output to the any of the signal output lines is being input to the signal readout circuit.

Claim (Index 7):
The image sensor according to  claim 3 , wherein the unit pixel outputs a reset signal, a transferred signal that is based on transferred charge that corresponds to an incident light, and\n the control circuit performs:\n a first control of outputting the reset signal to the signal output line; \n a second control of storing the reset signal output to the signal output line in the first control to the capacitor of the signal readout circuit; \n a third control of outputting the transferred signal to the signal output line; and \n a fourth control of inputting the transferred signal that is output to the signal output line in the third control to the signal readout circuit, reading out the reset signal that is stored in the capacitor, and outputting a difference between the transferred signal and the reset signal from the signal readout circuit, \n wherein the second control on the first row and the first control on the second row are performed in parallel, the third control on the first row and the second control on the second row are performed in parallel, the fourth control on the first row and the third control on the second row are performed in parallel, and the fourth control on the second row and the first control on a third row that is different from the first and second rows are performed in parallel, and signals from the second row and the third row are output to the different signal output lines from each other.
