Abstract
A solid-state imaging device composed of static induction transistors arranged in a matrix-like manner between a plurality of row lines and a plurality of vertical signal lines, drive means for simultaneously reading out during a predetermined readout period the signals stored in the static induction transistors, in accordance with row selection signals to be applied to the row lines, and holding them in drive transistors, and successively reading out the signals thus held within the horizontal scanning period, and means for preventing spurious signals from being generated by the ON operation of those static induction transistors to which the row selection signals are not applied. This construction effectively prevents blooming generation due to the superimposition of signals from non-selected static induction transistors.
