Abstract
According to one embodiment, a solid-state imaging device includes a signal level comparing circuit. The signal level comparing circuit compares the levels among the signals of first peripheral pixels, the levels among the signals of second peripheral pixels, the levels among the signals of third peripheral pixels. The first peripheral pixels are arranged with the pixels for colors other than the color for the target pixel interposed between the first peripheral pixels and the target pixel. The second peripheral pixels are disposed on extension lines in directions from the target pixel to the first peripheral pixels, and the third peripheral pixels are disposed between the second peripheral pixels.
