Abstract
In an imaging device including imaging elements, a driver configuration which does not require much layout space and ensures a reduced number of wirings is provided. The imaging device includes imaging elements 1 arranged in a matrix or in lines and a single driver circuit 6 disposed along the vertical direction of the matrix or along the direction in which the lines extend to control the driving of the imaging elements 1. Then, the driver circuit 6 serves the double function of a reset driver adapted to reset the imaging elements and a read driver adapted to read out the signals from the imaging elements.
