ABSTRACT:
A solid-state imaging device including:an imaging pixel region where a plurality of imaging pixels is disposed;a vertical selecting circuit for outputting pixel signals from imaging pixels of respective columns on a selected row of the imaging pixel region to vertical signal lines provided respectively for the columns;charge integrating amps provided respectively for the vertical signal lines of the columns so as to receive inputs of pixel signals from imaging pixels of the respective columns;holding elements that allow the input pixel signals to be held in the charge integrating amps even in periods when the charge integrating amps are in a standby state; anda horizontal selecting circuit for transferring pixel signals output from the respective charge integrating amps by a horizontal signal line.
