ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a solid-state imaging device comprising: a column direction transfer section arranged in parallel to photosensitive element trains, and capable of transferring, in column directions opposite to each other, signal charges produced in photosensitive elements; row direction transfer sections arranged on the both end sides of the column direction transfer section, respectively, and at least one transfer order conversion section provided between the row direction transfer section on one side and the column direction transfer section. In this solid-state imaging device, there is employed a scheme such that the transfer direction of the transfer in a column direction (first field transfer) of signal charges produced from photosensitive pixels of the odd rows and the transfer direction of the transfer in a column direction (second field transfer) of signal charges produced from photosensitive pixels of the odd rows are caused to be opposite to each other, and that the transfer order is reversed by the transfer order conversion section on one side to output signal charges in a reversed transfer order. Transfer between row direction transfer devices is therefore not required.
