Abstract
A unit pixel includes first and second photoelectric conversion units, a first transfer transistor disposed between the first photoelectric conversion unit and a first node, a first capacitor connected to the first node through a first switch transistor, and a second transfer transistor disposed between the second photoelectric conversion unit and the first node. A signal including a first voltage level is applied to the first transfer transistor and the second transfer transistor during a first time interval, a signal including a second voltage level is applied to the first transfer transistor, the second transfer transistor, and the first switch transistor during a second time interval, a signal including a third voltage level is applied to the first transfer transistor during a third time interval, and the signal including the first voltage level is applied to the second transfer transistor and the first switch transistor during a fourth time interval.
