Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A solid-state imaging device comprising:
a plurality of pixels arranged at least in a column direction;
a plurality of sampling switches configured to sample signals outputted from the pixels belonging to columns in parallel;
a plurality of sample-and-hold circuits configured to sample and hold signals outputted from the plurality of sampling switches; and
a plurality of output switches configured to output signals stored in the plurality of sample-and-hold circuits at predetermined timing,
wherein the plurality of sampling switches comprise a first sampling switch and a second sampling switch which is not turned on at the same timing with the first sampling switch, the plurality of sample-and-hold circuits comprise a first sample-and-hold circuit which is connected to the first sampling switch and a second sample-and-hold circuit which is connected to the second sampling switch, and the plurality of output switches comprise a first output switch which is connected to the first sample-and-hold circuit and a second output switch which is connected to the second sample-and-hold circuit and not turned on at the same timing with the first output switch,
wherein the timing when the first sampling switch is turned on is during a period when the second output switch is ON, and the timing when the second sampling switch is turned on is during a period when the first output switch is ON.
