PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solid-state imaging device with an excellent protective operation for preventing an insulating film or bonding inside an apparatus from being destroyed by static electricity. SOLUTION: In a solid-state imaging device including a protection circuit connected to a terminal, there are included a first circuit connected between the terminal and a negative potential line for providing a negative voltage, a second circuit connecting a protection circuit between the terminal and a ground potential line and a third circuit forming a protection circuit between the ground potential line and another terminal. The protection circuit is comprised of a first MOS transistor of which the drain is connected to the terminal, a source is connected to the negative potential line and a gate is connected to the terminal or the negative potential line, a second MOS transistor of which the drain is connected to the terminal, a source is connected to the ground potential line, and a gate is connected to the terminal or the ground potential line, and a third MOS transistor of which the drain is connected to the other terminal, a source is connected to the ground potential line and a gate is connected to the terminal or the ground potential line.
