Abstract
The present technology relates to a solid-state imaging device, a driving method therefor, and an electronic apparatus capable of acquiring a signal to detect phase difference and a signal to generate a high dynamic range image at the same time. The solid-state imaging device includes a pixel array unit in which a plurality of pixels that receives light of a same color is arranged under one on-chip lens. The plurality of pixels uses at least one pixel transistor in a sharing manner, some pixels out of the plurality of pixels are set to have a first exposure time, and other pixels are set to have a second exposure time shorter than the first exposure time. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a solid-state imaging device or the like.
