SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE, METHOD FOR DRIVING SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS

A pixel 200 includes photoelectric conversion elements PD0, PD1 for generating charges through photoelectric conversion and storing the generated charges in a storing period, transfer elements TG0-Tr, TG1-Tr for transferring the stored charges, an output node FD to which the charges stored in the photoelectric conversion elements are transferred through the transfer elements, an output buffer part 211 for converting the charges in the output node into a voltage signal at a level determined by the amount of the charges, and a comparator 220 for performing a comparing operation of comparing the voltage signal from the output buffer part against a referential voltage and outputting a digital comparison result signal. The comparator 220 performs, under control of a reading part, the comparing operation on read-out signals read in at least two different modes through different sequences of operations for reading performed on charges stored in the different photoelectric conversion elements.
