Abstract:
1. A solid-state imaging device comprising: a photoelectric conversion portion configured to photoelectrically convert incident light into signal charge and accumulate the signal charge; a plurality of signal lines including a transfer signal line to which a transfer signal for reading the signal charge accumulated in the photoelectric conversion portion to a floating diffusion region is input; a driver circuit configured to input a plurality of desired signals into the plurality of signal lines, including the transfer signal line; and a terminal circuit connected to a side opposite to a side of the transfer signal line where the driver circuit is connected and to which a control signal for securing the transfer signal line at a constant voltage is input before a desired signal of the plurality of desired signals with respect to a signal line adjacent to the transfer signal line of the plurality of signal lines is input to the signal line adjacent to the transfer signal line.
