Abstract:
A solid-state imaging device has: a photo-detection unit; a charge transfer unit transferring charges generated by the photo-detection unit in response to a first and a second clock generated by a clock supply circuit. The charge transfer unit includes: a first charge transfer element; a second charge transfer element adjacent to the first charge transfer element; and a charge transfer element group adjacent to the second charge transfer element and including a plurality of charge transfer elements. In a time period, the clock supply circuit supplies the first clock to the first charge transfer element, the second clock to the second charge transfer element, and constant potentials to respective the plurality of charge transfer elements.
