Abstract
According to one embodiment, a solid-state imaging sensor includes an imaging area, a vertical selector circuit, a pulse selector circuit and a timing generator circuit. The vertical selector circuit is provided with one row address comparator circuit corresponding to each of pixel rows. The row address comparator circuit is supplied with a row address in time division within one horizontal scanning interval with respect to the imaging area. Based on the comparison result of the row address comparator circuit, the vertical selector circuit outputs an electronic shutter row select signal and a read row select signal for setting an electronic shutter state and a read state of the corresponding pixel row.
