  • Patent number: 9369643
    Abstract: A vertical shift register section includes M logic circuits for outputting row selection control signals respectively to M row selection wiring lines and shift register circuits disposed for every two row selection wiring lines. The M logic circuits, when a binning control signal Vbin1 or Vbin2 and an output signal of the shift register circuit both have significant values, output a row selection control signal Vsel so as to close a readout switch. The vertical shift register section, by controlling the timing at which the binning control signals Vbin1 and Vbin2 take significant values, realizes a normal operation mode for successively selecting the two row selection wiring lines and a binning operation mode for simultaneously selecting the two row selection wiring lines. Accordingly, a vertical binning operation is realized by a small vertical shift register.
