Abstract Translated from Japanese (57)【要約】 【目的】 固体撮像素子のダイナミックレンジを簡単な 構成で広げる。 【構成】 撮像装置において、光電変換部と垂直転送部 とを有し、光学像を電気信号に変換する撮像素子と、フ レ−ムモ−ドとフィ−ルドモ−ドを切換えるモ−ド切換 手段と、該モ−ド切換手段によるモ−ドの切換に応じて 垂直転送パルスのバイアスレベルを制御する制御手段 と、を有することによりダイナミックレンジを広げた。 (57) [Summary] [Purpose] The dynamic range of a solid-state image sensor is expanded with a simple configuration. In an image pickup device, an image pickup device having a photoelectric conversion portion and a vertical transfer portion, for converting an optical image into an electric signal, and a mode switching means for switching between a frame mode and a field mode. , And a control means for controlling the bias level of the vertical transfer pulse in accordance with the mode switching by the mode switching means, thereby expanding the dynamic range.
