Abstract

A solid-state imaging device which is horizontally scanned by a discontinuous scanning pulse train, wherein an output signal of the device is integrated by a signal processing circuit which comprises an emitter follower (source follower) circuit and a capacitor disposed in parallel with the emitter follower (source follower) circuit, whereby noise components are canceled so as to derive only a video signal. With this solid-state imaging device, fixed pattern noise can be eliminated, and a good picture quality can be achieved.
