Abstract
A photoelectric conversion device includes first to fourth pixel columns. Each of the first to fourth pixel columns includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a predetermined direction. Each of the plurality of pixels arranged in the first to fourth pixel columns includes a photoelectric conversion element configured to receive light of a wavelength region and generate a signal charge. Each of the plurality of pixels arranged in the first to fourth pixel columns further includes a circuit configured to convert the signal charge generated by the photoelectric conversion element into a voltage signal. Directions of reading the voltage signals from the first pixel column and the second pixel column are different from directions of reading the voltage signals from the third pixel column and the fourth pixel column.
