Abstract
The present invention relates to a solid-state imaging device, etc. having a structure for capturing a high-resolution image even when any row selecting wiring is disconnected. The solid-state imaging device () comprises a photodetecting section (), a signal reading-out section (), a row selecting section (), a column selecting section (), an overflow preventing section (), and a controlling section (). The photodetecting section () has M×N pixel portions Pto Ptwo-dimensionally arranged in a matrix of M rows and N columns, and each of the pixel portions Pto Pincludes a photodiode that generates charge of an amount according to an incident light intensity and a reading-out switch connected to the photodiode. Each of the N pixel portions Pto Pbelonging to an m-th row is connected to the row selecting section () and the overflow preventing section () by an m-th row selecting wiring L.
