Abstract
A solid-state imaging device according to an embodiment includes: plural pixels, plural readout circuits, a control circuit, and a driving circuit. The plural pixels have light receiving elements. The plural readout circuits are connected to each of the plural pixels, and read out the charges accumulated by the light receiving elements. The control circuit gives a readout instruction to a readout pixel serving as a readout target out of the plural pixels. The driving circuit gives a driving instruction for driving a first constant current source provided in the readout circuit of the readout pixel and a second constant current source provided in a readout circuit of a corresponding pixel associated with the readout pixel out of the plural pixels.
