ABSTRACT:
A solid state image pickup apparatus is constructed by arranging a plurality of photoelectric converting pixels each for accumulating charges produced by receiving a light energy and for amplifying the charges. Timings to start and finish the accumulation of the charges for each pixel in a photoelectric converting section are set to be equal to or slightly deviated from the accumulation timing. For this purpose, the apparatus has: a signal accumulating section in which signal accumulating cells having transistors are arranged; transfer sections 26, 29, and 31 each for transferring the signals of the photoelectric converting pixels as voltages to the control electrodes of the signal accumulating cells; and a reading circuit for outputting the signal from one of the main electrodes of the transistors of the signal accumulating cells.
