Abstract:
1. A solid-state imaging device, comprising: a first pixel row including pixels which convert incident light photoelectrically and accumulate acquired charges; a second pixel row including pixels which convert incident light photoelectrically and accumulate acquired charges; a first transfer gate arranged between the first pixel row and the second pixel row; second transfer gates arranged adjacently to odd-numbered ones of the pixels of the second pixel row, respectively; third transfer gates arranged adjacently to even-numbered ones of the pixels of the second pixel row, the third transfer gates being provided alternately with the second transfer gates, respectively; a first CCD register arranged adjacently to the second transfer gates and third transfer gates provided alternately, the a first CCD register accumulating transferred charges; fourth transfer gates arranged adjacently to odd-numbered accumulation gates of the first CCD register; a second CCD register arranged adjacently to the fourth transfer gates, the a second CCD register accumulating transferred charges; an output portion which converts into a voltage signal charges transferred in a row direction in the first CCD register and the second CCD register, the output portion outputting the converted voltage signal; a clear gate which controls draining of the charges accumulated in the first pixel row to a first drain portion; and a switch gate which controls draining of the charges transferred in the row direction in the second CCD register to a second drain portion.
