Abstract

To prevent a decrease in yield due to a break in a signal line that transmits an image signal, while preventing a decrease in image quality. A solid-state image sensor includes a photoelectric conversion unit, a plurality of image signal lines, and output control units. In the solid-state image sensor, the photoelectric conversion unit generates an image signal that is a signal corresponding to incident light. In addition, the plurality of image signal lines transmit the image signal. Furthermore, the output control units are connected to the respective plurality of image signal lines and output the generated image signal to the respective plurality of image signal lines.
