Abstract

Photoelectric conversion device having pixels forming rows and columns, column signal lines, and read circuit for reading signals from the pixels via the column signal lines. The column signal lines include first signal lines and second signal lines for each column. The rows include first group rows forming first group, and second group rows forming second group. The read circuit performs first vertical scanning of reading signals of pixels in the first group rows via the first signal lines, and second vertical scanning of reading signals of pixels in the second group rows via the second signal lines, and the second vertical scanning is performed in period of the first vertical scanning. Electric conductor connected to none of the pixels in the period is arranged between the first signal lines and the second signal lines.
