Abstract
An image sensor is disclosed that prevents a photoelectrically-converted signal from being corrupted during a readout operation. The image sensor includes a line-selection line located on an upper side of a pixel relative to a top to bottom scan direction and disposed across the pixel in a direction substantially perpendicular to the top to bottom scanning direction. A signal reset line is located on a lower side of the pixel relative to a top to bottom scan direction and is disposed across the pixel in a direction substantially perpendicular to the top to bottom scanning direction. The line-selection line and the signal-reset line are disposed above and below a photoelectric conversion portion of the pixel.
