SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE AND IMAGING DEVICE EQUIPPED WITH SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging device which has less power consumption and a smaller circuit scale than usual, and a solid-state imaging device used therefor. SOLUTION: The imaging device includes (n) solid-state imaging devices 1, a control unit selecting them, and a signal processing unit. The control unit inputs a select signal having binary logic to the respective solid-state imaging devices 1. An output circuit 21 of each solid-state imaging device 1 comprises a transistor 21 to which a pixel input signal is input, a transistor 22, a transistor 23, and an output wiring 20 which outputs an output signal. A conduction terminal 21b is connected to a power source, a conduction terminal 21b is connected to a conduction terminal 22b and the output wiring 20, and a conduction terminal 22c is connected to a ground 24. The select signal is input to a gate terminal 23a and an inversion signal is input to a gate terminal 22a. Conduction terminals 23b and 23c are disposed so that the output signal is output when the logic of the select signal indicates selection and not output when not. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
