Patent attributes
To provide an imaging device having a function of biometric authentication and a function of a touch sensor or a near touch sensor. The imaging device includes pixels, current mirror circuits, and CDS circuits. The pixels, the current mirror circuits, and the CDS circuits are electrically connected to read lines. The current mirror circuit includes a first and a second transistor. One of a source and a drain of the first transistor is electrically connected to the read line, and a power supply potential is supplied to the other of a source and a drain of the second transistor. The imaging device outputs imaging data written to the pixel, as a first signal, to the read line in a first period, and then, resets the imaging data and outputs a second signal from the pixel to the read line in a second period. In the first period, a first potential is supplied to terminals, and in the second period, a second potential is supplied to terminals. A difference between the second potential and the power supply potential is greater than a difference between the first potential and the power supply potential.
