Patent number: 12289543Abstract: An imaging device is provided with a pixel array section including multiple pixels arranged in a matrix of rows and columns, and a column signal processor. The multiple pixels include multiple imaging pixels that each output a pixel signal corresponding to incident light and multiple reference pixels which are aligned in the column direction in at least two columns and which each output a reset signal corresponding to the output signal at reset of each of the multiple first pixels. The column signal processor outputs the difference between the pixel signal outputted by one imaging pixel from among the multiple imaging pixels and a reference signal based on the reset signals outputted by at least two reference pixels, from among the multiple reference pixels, located in the same row as the one imaging pixel.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2024Date of Patent: April 29, 2025Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshiaki Satou, Yasuo Miyake, Yusuke Okada, Kazuko Nishimura
