Abstract:
The present invention relates to a solid-state imaging device, etc., which makes it possible to obtain an image with higher resolution by properly correcting pixel data even when any one of row selecting wirings is disconnected. A solid-state imaging device (1) comprises a photodetecting section (10), a signal reading-out section (20), a controlling section (30), and a correction processing section (40). In the photodetecting section (10), M×N pixel portions P1,1 to PM,N are two-dimensionally arrayed in a matrix of M rows and N columns, and each of the pixel portions P1,1 to PM,N includes a photodiode and a reading-out switch. Charges generated in each pixel portion Pm,n are inputted into an integrating circuit Sn through a reading-out wiring LO,n, and a voltage value corresponding to the amount of charges is outputted from the integrating circuit Sn. The voltage value from the integrating circuit Sn is outputted to an output wiring Lout through a holding circuit Hn. In the correction processing section (40), correction processing is applied to frame data repeatedly outputted from the signal reading-out section (20), and the frame data after correction is outputted.
