Abstract
A thermal infrared solid-state imaging device includes a horizontal scanning circuit for scanning a pixel area horizontally to read an infrared image, and vertical scanning circuits provided at both ends of the pixel area. The vertical scanning circuits drive a drive line by applying a driving voltage at both ends of the drive line (in two-end driving). Further a bias voltage is applied at the end of the pixel area to a bias line connected to differential integrating circuits.
