ABSTRACT:
There is provided a photosensor having a photoelectric converter for converting incident light into a photoelectric current, and a function of removing noise light from imaging light including noise light and reflected from an object to be photographed. A plurality of photosensors each having the arrangement are used as an image sensor. A single photosensor having the arrangement or a plurality of photosensors each having the arrangement are used as a distance sensor. There is provided a photosensor in which a storage unit stores electric quantity corresponding to fixed light, and electric quantity corresponding to reflected light in the state wherein electric quantity stored in the storage unit is reproduced by a reproduction unit is introduced, and the difference therebetween is reproduced as an electric signal. A single photosensor having the arrangement or a plurality of photosensors each having the arrangement are used as a distance sensor. The plurality of photosensors are used as an image or distance image sensor.
