Abstract:
A solid-state image pickup device includes: a first pixel array which generates first pixel data; a second pixel array which generates second pixel data; a vertical scanning unit which drives the rows of the first pixel array and the rows of the second pixel array independently; and a signal processing circuit which outputs, as a single image signal, a pair of (i) the plurality of second pixel signals generated in the second pixel array in a first frame and (ii) the plurality of first pixel signals generated in the first pixel array in a second frame immediately after the first frame.
