  • Patent number: 8513710
    Abstract: In realizing an entire-screen simultaneous shutter function using a solid-state imaging device having a device structure as a CMOS solid-state imaging device, the restriction undergone by exposure time is relieved to secure a sufficient exposure time with swift operation. Separately from a transfer Tr for transferring a signal charge of a buried-type PD to an FD, a drain Tr is provided to exclude a signal charge of the buried PD. Both a channel potential on the drain transistor when turned on and a channel potential on the transfer transistor when turned on are set higher than a depleting potential for the PD. This makes it possible to completely transfer the signal charge of the PD by both the transfer Tr and the drain Tr. In the operation to sequentially read out a signal charge from the FD on a pixel-row basis, PD exposure operation is started in a course of reading out the same.

  • Publication number: 20130211217
    Abstract: First and second white light is generated by excitations of phosphors with first and second laser beams having center wavelengths of 473 nm and 445 nm, respectively. The first and second white light is applied, in respective frames, sequentially to a region of interest in a subject. A color image sensor images the region of interest in the each frame. Based on a shift amount, calculated from green signals of first and second frames, between images, an image of a blue signal of the first frame is moved to be aligned with an image of a green signal and an image of a red signal of the second frame. After the alignment, an oxygen saturation image representing an oxygen saturation level of hemoglobin in blood is produced from the blue signal of the first frame and green and red signals of the second frame, and displayed on a display.
