Abstract:
1. A solid-state imaging device comprising: a pixel array in which a plurality of pixels are arrayed in horizontal and vertical directions; a control unit that controls driving of the pixels for each horizontal line, in which the pixels are arrayed in the horizontal direction in the pixel array, applying one of a first exposure time and a second exposure time shorter than the first exposure time as an exposure time of the pixels; and a high dynamic range synthesizing unit that synthesizes a first image signal from a first pixel which is the pixel to which the first exposure time is applied and a second image signal from a second pixel which is the pixel to which the second exposure time is applied, wherein first horizontal lines which are the horizontal lines formed by the first pixels and second horizontal lines which are the horizontal lines formed by the second pixels form a periodic array in units of a combination of the first horizontal lines and the second horizontal lines of the number which is twice the number of first horizontal lines in the vertical direction of the pixel array.
