Abstract
Image quality enhancement in a solid-state imaging element with simultaneous pixel exposure is disclosed. In one example, a solid-state imaging element includes a first pixel with a first selection transistor that opens and closes a path between a first capacitive element holding a predetermined reset level and a predetermined node, and a second selection transistor that opens and closes a path between a second capacitive element holding a signal level corresponding to an exposure amount and the node. It also includes a second pixel with a third selection transistor that opens and closes a path between a third capacitive element holding a predetermined reset level and a predetermined node, and a fourth selection transistor that opens and closes a path between a fourth capacitive element holding a signal level corresponding to the exposure amount.
