PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the occurrence of longitudinal lines due to untransferred remainders of transferred charges caused by a potential barrier, potential fluctuation, etc., existing in probability in the transfer channels of vertical charge transfer devices contained in charge discharging circuits. SOLUTION: A charge transfer device comprises the vertical charge transfer devices which transfer signal charges, a plurality of charge discharging circuits which are formed adjacently to the vertical charge transfer devices and selectively discharge the signal charges transferred by means of at least one sides of their adjacent vertical charge transfer devices, and an output circuit which outputs the signal charges transferred by means of the vertical charge transfer devices to the outside.
