Imaging device

Abstract

To provide an imaging device. [Solution] The imaging device comprises an image sensor 3 having a first substrate on which a plurality of pixels are arranged, a fourth substrate 114 stacked together with the first substrate 111 and on which an output unit 270 that outputs signals read from the plurality of pixels is arranged, and a control unit that performs image processing on the signals output from the output unit.

Claims

1. An image sensor having a first substrate on which a plurality of pixels are arranged, and a second substrate which is stacked together with the first substrate and on which an output unit is arranged that outputs signals read from the plurality of pixels, A control unit that performs image processing on the signal output from the output unit. An imaging device equipped with the following features.

2. In the imaging apparatus according to claim 1, The second substrate is provided with an input unit that receives an instruction signal from the control unit for controlling the image sensor. Imaging device.

3. In the imaging device according to claim 2, The image sensor has a third substrate which is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate in the stacking direction in which the first substrate and the second substrate are stacked, and on which a scanning unit is disposed that outputs a control signal for reading signals from the plurality of pixels. The scanning unit generates the control signal based on the instruction signal input to the input unit. Imaging device.

4. In the imaging device according to claim 3, The third substrate is equipped with a conversion unit that converts signals read from the plurality of pixels into digital signals. The output unit outputs the signal converted into a digital signal by the conversion unit to the control unit. Imaging device.

5. In the imaging device according to claim 4, The image sensor has a fourth substrate which is disposed between the second substrate and the third substrate in the stacking direction and which has a storage unit that stores the signal converted into a digital signal by the conversion unit. The output unit outputs the signal stored in the storage unit to the control unit. Imaging device.
