In a solid-state image capturing device 100 comprising pixel arrays 11r, 11g and 11b arranged in a row direction and a column direction which is orthogonal thereto and a vertical register 12 including a plurality of transfer electrodes in which a signal charge generated by light acceptance of each pixel is read and is sequentially transferred in the column direction upon receipt of a transfer pulse, an electrode terminal for generating K (K is an integer of 2 or more) continuous electric potential wells for a signal charge in the vertical register 12 upon receipt of the transfer pulse and an electrode terminal for generating one electric potential well for a smear charge after the K electric potential wells for a signal charge are provided as electrode terminals 101 to 116 for cyclically transmitting the transfer pulse to each of the transfer electrodes. By providing a large number of electrode terminals and applying a transfer pulse for multiphase driving to each of the electrode terminals, it is possible to generate a well dedicated to smear charge transfer.
