Abstract:
A solid-state imaging device which, in a voltage mode, simultaneously samples the pixel signal in all the pixels in a signal holding part serving as the pixel signal storage part, reads converted signals corresponding to readout signals held in a first signal holding capacitor and a second signal holding capacitor to a first signal line, reads converted signals corresponding to readout reset signals simultaneously in parallel to the second signal line, and supplies the same as a differential signal to a column readout circuit. Due to this, a sufficiently low parasitic light sensitivity corresponding to the application can be realized, settling error can be suppressed, and pixel fixed pattern noise can be reduced.

Claim (Index 8):
The solid-state imaging device as set forth in  claim 6 , wherein\n the readout portion when reading a pixel signal of a pixel, connects a drain side of the first source-follower element to a power supply potential, when reading a readout signal as a pixel signal from a pixel, makes the first switch element of the signal holding part conductive for a predetermined period and holds the readout signal in the first signal holding capacitor, when reading a readout reset signal as a pixel signal from a pixel, makes the second switch element of the signal holding part conductive for another predetermined period and holds the readout reset signal in the second signal holding capacitor, and in a state in which the first switch element and the second switch element are held in a nonconductive state, reads out the converted signal corresponding to the readout signal to the first signal line by the first output part and reads out the converted signal corresponding to the readout reset signal simultaneously in parallel to the second signal line by the second output part.
