ABSTRACT:
An imaging device includes a storage portion of carriers, a multiplier section having a multiplier electrode multiplying carriers, a holding portion of the carriers and a readout electrode of carriers, wherein the multiplier electrode is set to an OFF-state potential and carriers are transferred to the holding portion after the potential of the readout electrode is set to an ON-state potential, and the ON-state potential of the readout electrode is maintained at least until a signal corresponding to the carriers transferred to the holding portion is read.
