Abstract

The present invention relates to a solid-state imaging device, etc., having a structure which enables to obtain an image with higher resolution by correcting pixel data even when any one of row selecting wirings is disconnected. A solid-state imaging device () comprises a photodetecting section (), a signal reading-out section (), a controlling section (), and a correction processing section (). The photodetecting section () has M×N pixel portions Pto Ptwo-dimensionally arrayed in M rows and N columns, and each of the pixel portions Pto Pincludes a photodiode which generates charges of an amount corresponding to an incident light intensity and a reading-out switch connected to the photodiode. Charges generated in each of the pixel portions Pto Pare inputted into an integrating circuit Sthrough a reading-out wiring L. A voltage value outputted from the integrating circuit Scorresponding to the amount of inputted charges is outputted to an output wiring Lthrough a holding circuit H. The correction processing section () applies correction processing to frame data repeatedly outputted from the signal reading-out section (), and then outputs the frame data after correction processing.
