ABSTRACT:
During the collection operation for the imaging data of the optical image supplied to the light receiving unit in which the vertical light receiving sections are horizontally arranged, each vertical light receiving section having the light receiving devices arranged vertically therein, among the integration circuit, the buffer circuit, and horizontal reading-out section, which are arranged in each horizontal signal processing section, the integration circuit and the buffer circuit are rendered at non-operation state during the horizontal reading-out operation controlled by the timing control section, so that power is not consumed substantially during the horizontal reading-out operation. As a result, the image picking-up of the optical image supplied to the light receiving unit can be executed with a high S/N ratio and low power consumption, thereby providing a solid-state imaging apparatus which is capable of picking-up the image with a high S/N ratio and achieving a reduction in power consumption.
