Abstract

See full text

The solid-state imaging device includes unit cells each of which and generates a pixel signal corresponding to a light reception amount, vertical signal lines each of which is provided for a corresponding column of the unit cells and transfers the corresponding pixel signal, comparators each of which is provided for corresponding one of the vertical signal lines, and a ramp signal generation circuit that supplies a common ramp signal to the comparators. Each of the comparators includes a differential amplifier circuit that includes a transistor to which the ramp signal or the pixel signal is input, a transistor to which the other of the ramp signal and the pixel signal is input, an output terminal for outputting a signal corresponding to a difference between the ramp signal and the pixel signal, and a voltage generation circuit for reducing fluctuations of charge accumulated in a capacitance component of the transistor.
