A plurality of pixel sets each of 16 pixels are vertically provided successively one after another. A vertical transfer path 2 has two groups a and b of transfer electrodes 1 a , 1 b to 16 a , 16 b. Two like sequence transfer electrodes in the two electrode groups are provided for each of the pixels in each set. Each pixel is connected via a shift gate 3 to each transfer channel corresponding to each of the transfer electrodes in the electrode group a. To the transfer electrodes in the electrode group a, independent shift/transfer pulse application lead lines 4 A are connected for applying independent gate pulses to the individual shift gates in addition to transfer pulses. Common lead lines are connected to the transfer electrodes 2 a and 4 a , 5 a and 7 a , 10 a , 12 a, and 13 a and 15 a. Transfer pulse application lead lines 4B are connected to the transfer electrodes in the electrode group b. Thus, a CCD imaging device is constructed, which is capable of performing a desired read-out operation by 4-phase driving. The invention realizes a solid-state imaging device capable of reducing the numbers of lead lines for shift gate control gate electrodes for charge read-out to a vertical transfer path and external circuit connection terminals and is capable of a special read-out, such as a multiple rate read-out.
