==SOLID-STATE IMAGING ELEMENT AND IMAGING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18260339 titled 'SOLID-STATE IMAGING ELEMENT AND IMAGING DEVICE

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a solid-state imaging element with a pixel array unit containing pixels with photoelectric conversion portions. The unit includes a first pixel for gradation signal and a second pixel for detecting changes in received light.

* The pixel array unit includes a first pixel for gradation signal and a second pixel for detecting changes in received light.
* The volume of the photoelectric conversion portion in the second pixel is larger than in the first pixel.

**Potential Applications:**

* Surveillance cameras
* Automotive cameras
* Medical imaging devices

**Problems Solved:**

* Improved detection of changes in light intensity
* Enhanced image quality in varying lighting conditions

**Benefits:**

* Higher sensitivity to changes in light
* Better image quality in low light conditions
* Improved overall performance of imaging devices


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A solid-state imaging element according to the present technology includes a pixel array unit in which a plurality of pixels each having a photoelectric conversion portion is arranged, the pixel array unit includes, as the pixels, a first pixel for obtaining a gradation signal indicating an intensity of received light and a second pixel for detecting that a change in an amount of received light exceeds a predetermined threshold value, and a volume of a photoelectric conversion portion included in the second pixel is larger than a volume of a photoelectric conversion portion included in the first pixel.
