Abstract

There is provided an imaging device capable of suppressing an occurrence of shading in any input image at any shutter timing when the fine shutter is implemented without restriction on the exposure time. The imaging device includes a shutter function capable of performing a shutter operation at a desired timing within one horizontal synchronization period, in which in a pixel layout configuration in which pixels each including a photoelectric conversion unit are disposed in a matrix shape, a pixel control line is wired for each pixel row with respect to a matrix-like pixel array, and a vertical signal line and a power supply line of a high-potential-side power supply voltage are wired for each pixel column in a wiring layer different from a wiring layer in which the pixel control line is wired, the vertical signal line is shielded by a shielding power supply line of a low-potential-side power supply voltage.
