Abstract
A controlling section causes a charge of a photodiode to be output to an integration circuit by bringing a readout switch into a connected state, and then brings the readout switch into a non-connected state. Thereafter, a voltage value is output to a holding circuit from the integration circuit. After carrying out the output operation mentioned above, an operation for causing a charge held in an integrating capacitive element to be discharged, and bringing the readout switch into a connected state to cause a charge held in the photodiode to be discharged and an operation for causing voltage values held in the holding circuits to be sequentially output are carried out in parallel. Accordingly, a solid-state imaging device and a method of driving it capable of solving the problems due to a memory effect, a delay effect, and switching noise are realized.
