US Patent 11039057 Photoelectric conversion device and method of driving photoelectric conversion device

A photoelectric conversion device includes a pixel region where pixels are arranged to form rows and columns, and a pixel control circuit that supplies control signals to the pixels. The pixel region includes first to fourth regions, a first pixel in the first region and a second pixel in the second region are arranged on different columns on a first row, a third pixel in the third region and a fourth pixel in the fourth region are arranged on different rows on a first column, and the first row on which the first and second pixels are arranged is arranged between rows on which the third and fourth pixels are arranged. The pixel control circuit simultaneously reads out pixel signals of the first and second pixels in a first period and simultaneously reads out pixel signals of the third and fourth pixels in a second period.
