PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERSION APPARATUS, EQUIPMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240178246 titled 'PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERSION APPARATUS, EQUIPMENT
Simplified Explanation
The photoelectric conversion apparatus described in the abstract includes a pixel, signal line, first and second transistors, and first and second switches. The pixel generates a pixel signal through photoelectric conversion, which is then output to the signal line. The first and second transistors are connected to the signal line, with the first switch connected to the first transistor and the second switch connected to the second transistor. The first and second transistors are connected in parallel to the signal line, with their gates connected to separate bias lines. The first and second bias lines are electrically separated, as are the first and second control lines of the switches.
