Application Number: JP,2024-074089
Category (FI): H04N25/78
Stage: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photoelectric conversion device that has improved the accuracy of AD conversion.SOLUTION: Provided is a method for driving a photoelectric conversion device comprising pixels that generate pixel signals through photoelectric conversion, output lines that can be electrically connected to the pixels, and comparators that each have a first input node to which a reference signal is input and a second input node to which the pixel signal is input through the output line. In a reset period of the comparator, first voltage is input to the second input node, and a direction in which the voltage of the output line changes when the pixel signal is input to the second input node is different from a direction in which the voltage of the output line changes when the first voltage is input to the second input node.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 (Grant)
