特許 権利維持 An independent pixel output line (14) is arranged for each of pixels (10) arranged two-dimensionally in a pixel region (2a) and a plurality of storage units are connected to the respective pixel output lines (14). In a continuous read-out mode, all the pixels simultaneously execute photo charge accumulation and the storage units simultaneously capture signals in the storage units from the respective pixels (10) via the pixel output lines (14), after which the signals held in the respective storage units are successively read out and outputted.
