Abstract
A solid-state imaging device includes: a device portion in which unit constituent elements, each of which includes a charge detection unit detecting a charge that is generated on the basis of changes in physical information and a transfer unit transferring a signal charge detected by the charge detection unit, are arranged in a predetermined direction; and a supplied voltage control portion capable of transferring a part of the charge detected by the charge detection unit through supplying of a control voltage for suppressing blooming to the transfer unit and capable of transferring the signal charge detected by the charge detection unit through supplying of a first control voltage that is different from the control voltage for suppressing the blooming to the transfer unit.
