Solid-state imaging device
A solid-state imaging device includes a photodiode array having a plurality of photodiodes, read transistors each having one terminal and the other terminal of a current path, one terminal of the current path being connected to one of four photodiodes corresponding to two photodiodes adjacent in a row direction and two photodiodes adjacent in a column direction, the other terminal of the current path being connected in common to a first node, the first node provided as a set of four photodiodes being in a floating-state, read control lines to connect the gate of the read transistor corresponding to each set of the read transistors in common, and independently supplied with a read signal, and vertical signal lines supplied with a signal converted by two photodiodes adjacent in a row direction of the photodiodes for an independent period within one horizontal blanking period of image scanning.
