ABSTRACT:
A solid-state imaging apparatus including a pixel section having a plurality of pixels arrayed in two dimensions, each having a photoelectric conversion device, a means for resetting signal accumulated at the photoelectric conversion device, a memory means for retaining signal accumulated at the photoelectric conversion device, and a transfer means for transferring signal accumulated at the photoelectric conversion device to the memory means, the signal retained at the memory means being outputted as signal of the pixel, and further including: a global control means, the pixel section having a plurality of pixel regions divided in row direction, for concurrently effecting the reset operation and the transfer operation, respectively, with treating the divided pixel region as a unit; a vertical scanning means for controlling sequence in outputting signals of the pixels with treating the divided pixel region as a unit; and a first and a second horizontal read means for outputting signals of the pixels of two pixel regions in parallel with considering the divided pixel region as unit.
