Abstract
An imaging device capable of suppressing the complexity of a constitution and reducing the dispersion of brightness sensitivities of individual solid imaging elements to the temperature includes a solid imaging element, a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature, and a temperature monitor for detecting the temperature of the solid imaging element with an output signal of the temperature sensor. On the basis of this detection result, the control values corresponding to the temperatures at different times are set in the register of the voltage control circuit. In accordance with the control values of the register, the voltage control circuit controls reset voltages to be fed to pixel cells.
