There is provided an imaging device, comprising differential amplifier circuitry comprising a first amplification transistor and a second amplification transistor; and a plurality of pixels including a first pixel and a second pixel, wherein the first pixel includes a first photoelectric converter, a first reset transistor, and the first amplification transistor, and wherein the second pixel includes a second photoelectric converter, a second reset transistor, and the second amplification transistor, wherein the first reset transistor is coupled to a first reset voltage, and wherein the second reset transistor is coupled to a second reset voltage different than the first reset voltage.

Signal processing device and solid-state imaging device

To increase a readout speed of a pixel signal in a non-differential mode in a solid-state image sensor that performs differential amplification in a differential mode and does not perform differential amplification in the non-differential mode. A connection control unit sequentially performs control of connecting a first pixel connected to a first signal line to a reset power supply via a third signal line and control of connecting a second pixel connected to a second signal line to the reset power supply via a fourth signal line in a differential mode, and performs control of connecting a third pixel to the third signal line and control of connecting the fourth pixel to the fourth signal line in a non-differential mode. Furthermore, a drive unit outputs a signal obtained by amplifying a difference between respective pixel signals of the first and second pixels via one of the first and second signal lines in the differential mode, and outputs respective pixel signals of the first, second, third, and fourth pixels via the first, second, third, and fourth signal lines in the non-differential mode.

Solid-stage image sensor, imaging device, and method of controlling solid-state image sensor

The present technology relates to a solid-state imaging device, an imaging apparatus, an electronic apparatus, and a semiconductor device, which can prevent overflow of an underfilling resin filled in a portion adapted to connect the substrate to the flip chip and can prevent secondary damages such as electric short-circuit and contact with processing equipment. By utilizing a molding technology of forming an on-chip lens, a dam is formed in a ring shape or a square shape in a manner surrounding a range where a flip chip is connected via a solder bump on an upper layer of a substrate of the solid-state imaging device and provided in order to form the on-chip lens. This can block the underfilling resin filled in the range where the substrate and the flip chip are electrically connected. The present technology can be applied to a solid-state imaging device.

An image processing apparatus which previews a read image is disclosed. The image processing apparatus includes a preview image processing unit in which a user is allowed to set a processing condition for the read preview image by operating on the read preview image and a preview image processed by the processing condition is displayed together with the setting of the processing condition on a displaying section.

Image processing apparatus and preview image displaying method

When a reading unit reads information of a pattern image for correcting image quality printed on at least either side of a recording medium, a control unit compares the information of the pattern image for correcting image-quality with correction pattern information that is a basis of the pattern image for correcting image quality transferred to the at least either side of the recording medium, and controls an image forming unit based on a result of the comparison to correct image quality on the at least either side of the recording medium.

Image forming apparatus, image processing unit, and image forming method to keep image quality precision of both sides of recording medium, and computer product

In a double-sided image forming apparatus and method, back-side images are developed on a first middle transfer belt prior to developing of front-side images on the first middle transfer belt, and the back-side images are transferred to a second middle transfer belt. The number of back-side images allowed to be supported at a time on the second middle transfer belt is determined. The number of back-side images are developed on the first middle transfer belt prior to developing of the same number of front-side images on the first middle transfer belt. The front-side image of the first middle transfer belt and the back-side image of the second middle transfer belt are simultaneously formed on both sides of a copy sheet.
