Abstract
A solid-state image pickup deviceincludes a photodetecting section, a signal readout section, a controlling section, and a correction processing section. In the photodetecting section, M×N pixel units Pto Peach including a photodiode that generates charge of an amount according to an incident light intensity and a readout switch connected to the photodiode are two-dimensionally arrayed in M rows and N columns. A charge generated in each pixel unit Pis input to an integration circuit Sthrough a readout wiring line L, and a voltage value output from the integration circuit Saccording to the charge amount is output to an output wiring line Lthrough a holding circuit H. In the correction processing section, a correction processing is applied to respective frame data output from the signal readout section, and the frame data after the correction processing is output. Accordingly, a solid-state image pickup device that allows acquiring a high-resolution image by correcting pixel data when any readout wiring line is disconnected is realized.
