PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERSION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240214704 titled 'PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERSION DEVICE

Simplified Explanation:

The patent application describes a photoelectric conversion device that includes a pixel, a signal line for outputting signals from the pixel, a capacitive element connected to the signal line, and a control line that applies a variable potential to the capacitive element.

  • The device consists of a pixel, signal line, capacitive element, and control line.
  • The signal line transmits signals from the pixel.
  • The capacitive element is connected to the signal line and has two terminals.
  • A variable potential is applied to the capacitive element through the control line.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Integration of a capacitive element in a photoelectric conversion device.
  • Use of a control line to apply a variable potential to the capacitive element.
  • Enhanced signal processing capabilities due to the capacitive element.

Potential Applications:

  • Image sensors in digital cameras.
  • Solar panels for energy conversion.
  • Optical character recognition systems.

Problems Solved:

  • Improved signal processing efficiency.
  • Enhanced sensitivity to light.
  • Reduction in noise interference.

Benefits:

  • Higher quality images.
  • Increased energy conversion efficiency.
  • Improved performance in low-light conditions.

Commercial Applications:

  • Image sensor technology for consumer electronics.
  • Renewable energy systems for commercial use.
  • Optical recognition technology for security systems.

Questions about Photoelectric Conversion Devices:

1. How does the capacitive element improve signal processing in the device? 2. What are the potential drawbacks of using a control line for applying variable potential in the device?


Original Abstract Submitted

a photoelectric conversion device including: a pixel; a signal line to which a signal is output from the pixel; a capacitive element having a first terminal and a second terminal, the first terminal being connected to the signal line; and a first control line. a variable potential is applied to the second terminal due to a change in a potential of the first control line.
