Abstract
A MOS solid-state imaging device comprises photo-electric conversion elements (pixels) two-dimensionally arranged in row and column directions, horizontal signal lines arranged one for each horizontal row of pixels, and switches for connecting the vertically adjacent pixels. The switches are parallelly controlled by vertical gate pulses. Thus, mixed signals of the upper and lower pixels are sequentially and horizontally scanned and signals are alternately read from the two horizontal signal lines.
