Abstract
An imaging device provided with: a pixel including a photoelectric converter that converts light into charges, the pixel outputting a first signal corresponding to an amount of the charges; an output signal line coupled to the pixel, the first signal being transmitted through the output signal line; a load transistor having a source, a drain, and a gate, one of the source and the drain being coupled to the output signal line; and a voltage supply circuit coupled to the gate of the load transistor, the voltage supply circuit selectively supplying either a first voltage or a second voltage to the gate.
