PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging device in which light incidence from a light guide passage on an electric charge storage unit is sufficiently suppressed.SOLUTION: An imaging device includes a row circuit unit 102, a horizontal scan circuit 103, and an output circuit 104. The row circuit unit 102 comprises a plurality of row circuits. Each of the plurality of row circuits is arranged so as to correspond to one of a plurality of row signal lines 10. Each of the plurality of row circuits outputs to the output circuit a signal obtained by amplifying a signal output to a row signal line 10. The horizontal scan circuit sequentially selects the plurality of row circuits included in the row circuit unit. Thereby, signals held by the respective row circuits are sequentially output to the output circuit. The output circuit outputs a signal to the outside of the imaging device. The signal output by the output circuit is a signal to be output by the imaging device. The imaging device further includes a control circuit 105. The control circuit 105 is connected to each of a vertical scan circuit 101, the row circuit unit, and the horizontal scan circuit via a drive line for supplying a drive signal.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】導光路から電荷蓄積部への光の入射を充分に抑制した撮像装置を提供する。【解決手段】撮像装置は、列回路部１０２、水平走査回路１０３、出力回路１０４を有する。列回路部１０２は、複数の列回路を備えている。複数の列回路の各々は、複数の列信号線１０の１つに対応して配置されている。複数の列回路の各々は、列信号線１０に出力された信号を増幅した信号を、出力回路に出力する。水平走査回路は、列回路部が備える複数の列回路を順次選択する。これより、複数の列回路の各々が保持した信号が、順次、出力回路に出力される。出力回路は、撮像装置の外部に信号を出力する。出力回路の出力する信号は、撮像装置が出力する信号である。撮像装置は、制御回路１０５をさらに有する。制御回路１０５は、垂直走査回路１０１、列回路部、水平走査回路のそれぞれに対し、駆動信号を供給する駆動線を介して接続されている。【選択図】図１
