ABSTRACT:
To reduce the number of MOS transistors of a pixel and the number of gate potential control lines, the present invention provides a solid-state image pickup apparatus including a pixel including a photoelectric conversion unit, a read transistor for reading a signal from the photoelectric conversion unit, and a reset transistor for resetting the input portion of the read transistor, and an output line to which the signal from the read transistor is read out, wherein the reset transistor is controlled in accordance with the signal level of the output line.
