Imaging device

Patent Granted An independent pixel output line (14) is arranged for each of pixels arrange in a two-dimensional array in a pixel region so that pixel signals can be successively written into storage units (22) via the pixel output lines (14). When pixel signals of a plurality of frames are held in the storage units (22), pixel signals corresponding to two arbitrary frames are read out from the storage units (22) and held in sample hold circuit units (61, 62), respectively.
