Abstract

A first voltage line supplies a constant first voltage in column circuits of an imaging device. A second voltage line supplies a second voltage that is lower than the first voltage and is constant. A third voltage line supplies a constant third voltage. A fourth voltage line supplies a fourth voltage that is lower than the third voltage and is constant. The first voltage line is electrically connected to a drain of an NMOS transistor, and the third voltage line is electrically connected to a gate of the NMOS transistor. The second voltage line is electrically connected to a drain of a PMOS transistor, and the fourth voltage line is electrically connected to a gate of the PMOS transistor.
