Abstract
A solid-state imaging device, a method for driving the same, and an electronic apparatus can achieve a high dynamic range based on multiple exposure technique, where images captured with different exposure durations are combined, with it being possible to prevent motion artifacts and LED flickers. A pixel has a 4:0 configuration. The pixel is divided into, for example, four sub-pixels all of which have the same color (for example, G (green)). An access control part sets different charge integration periods and different charge storage starting times between photoelectric conversion parts PD of the sub-pixels and controls the charge integration periods such that they overlap each other. In other words, the access control part sets different charge integration periods and different charge storage starting times, the number of which corresponds to the number of sub-pixels having the same color, and controls the charge integration periods such that they overlap each other.
