ABSTRACT:
There is provided a solid-state image pickup device that has a plurality of scanning lines that extends in a predetermined direction, a plurality of data lines that extends in a direction for intersecting the scanning lines, and a plurality of bias lines within an image pickup area on a substrate. For each of a plurality of pixels disposed in positions corresponding to intersections of the plurality of scanning lines and the plurality of data lines, a field effect transistor that is controlled by the scanning line and a photoelectric conversion element that has a electrode electrically connected to the data line through the field effect transistor and a electrode electrically connected to the bias line are formed, and a constant electric potential line for electrostatic protection is formed on the substrate. For each of bias lines, a bias line electrostatic protection circuit having a protection diode.
