<p>Disclosed is a small solid-state imaging device in which noise charges can be reduced, and also disclosed is a method for driving the solid-state imaging device. A FIT type solid-state imaging device comprises an image area (2) and a storage area (3). The image area (2) comprises: a plurality of photodiodes (10) which are arranged in a two-dimensional form; and a first vertical transfer section (11) which is disposed corresponding to the columns of the photodiodes (10), and which transfers in the vertical direction signal charges of the photodiodes (10) of the corresponding column. The storage area (3) comprises a second vertical transfer section (12) which is provided corresponding to the first vertical transverse section (11), which retains the signal charges that are transferred by the corresponding first vertical transfer section (11), and which transfers the signal charges in the vertical direction. In the second vertical transfer section (12), the number of signal charges of each of the plurality of photodiodes (10) that can be accumulated simultaneously and independently is smaller than the total number of rows of the photodiodes (10).</p> |
