Reset noise in pixels is removed. A solid-state imaging device (1) includes pixels (2) arranged in row and column directions, in which each of the pixels (2) includes a charge-voltage conversion terminal for voltage-converting signal charges transferred from a photoelectric conversion element by a transfer means, and a first reset means for resetting a voltage at the charge-voltage conversion terminal; first signal lines (8), each of which is connected to the pixels (2) in each column; a first scanning means for selecting one row among others; and constant current circuit elements (11) for supplying constant current to the first signal lines (8). The device (1) executes an operation in which each reset voltage at each charge-voltage conversion terminal reset by the first reset means within each row selected by the first scanning means is read out to and stored in each first signal line (8) supplied with constant current by each constant current circuit element (11), and then output. The device (1) also executes an operation in which a voltage at each charge-voltage conversion terminal to which signal charges are transferred from each photoelectric conversion means is read out to and stored in each first signal line (8) supplied with constant current by each constant current circuit element (11), and then output. |
