ABSTRACT:
A solid-state imaging device of the present invention includes: a plurality of photodiodes arranged on a surface of a semiconductor substrate, for generating charges in response to light irradiation and for temporarily holding the charges; a charge transfer section for receiving the charges accumulated in each of the plurality of photodiodes in response to a read pulse supplied in a certain cycle and for transferring the charges in response to a transfer signal; and a shutter pulse application section for applying an electronic shutter pulse train, which allows the charges accumulated in each of the plurality of photodiodes to flow toward the substrate, onto the substrate, wherein the shutter pulse application section has a circuit for changing a pulse amplitude of the electronic shutter pulse train in the certain cycle.
