Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A photoelectric conversion apparatus includes plural pixel arrays arranged side-by-side in a first direction, each of the plurality of pixel arrays including a plurality of pixels that perform photoelectric conversion. A pulse controlling unit supplies control pulses to the pixel arrays of each color, according to color offset quantities formed in the first direction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A photoelectric conversion apparatus comprising: a plurality of pixel arrays, each pixel array including a plurality of pixels each including a photoelectric conversion unit converting light to electric charges, and each pixel array corresponding to each of colors different from each other; and a pulse controlling unit for supplying control pulses to the pixel arrays for reading a signal based on the electric charges, wherein the plurality of pixel array…
