Abstract

The invention provides an imaging device, a control method thereof and a CMOS image sensor. The imaging device provided with a read circuit in which a light-shielding region is formed in a part of an image region where a plurality of optical / electrical conversion devices is two-dimensionally arrayed in the row and column directions and which converts a optically detected signal outputted from each of the optical / electrical conversion devices for each of the column into a digital signal, comprises a storage device for storing the outputted digital signal outputted in relation with the optical / electrical conversion device in the light-shielding region and a difference calculation device for calculating a difference between the outputted digital signal in relation with the optical / electrical conversion device in a light-receiving region except the light-shielding region and a value stored in the storage device.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of Chinese patent application 200510001852.3 filed on January 18, 2005. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to imaging technology, and more particularly, to technology that can be effectively applied to imaging devices such as complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors and the like. Background technique [0003] For example, compared with charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensors, CMOS image sensors can be well matched with peripheral image processing circuits in terms of manufacturing process, operating voltage, etc., and in CMOS image sensors, imaging equipment, image processing circuits , controller, etc. can be easily integrated on one chip. [0004] Since in this CMOS image sensor, not only the photo / electric conversion device can be amplified at the level of each pixel, but also the conversion signal can also be amplified at the level of each pixel, so the CMOS image sensor can be ...
