Abstract
An imaging device includes a first photoelectric converter that converts light into a charge, a first charge storage that stores the charge, a first capacitor, an output circuit electrically connected to the first capacitor, and a first interposing transistor including a gate electrode, a source, and a drain. A potential of the first charge storage, a potential of the gate electrode, and a potential of one of the source and the drain are continuously the same during a control cycle period. By turning on the first interposing transistor, the first charge storage and the first capacitor are electrically connected.
