Patent abstract
A solid-state image pickup device is provided which includes an electric charge accumulation region capable of accumulating electric charges, a reset transistor having a first terminal and a second terminal, in which an electric charge discharge potential is applied to the first terminal and the second terminal is connected to the electric charge accumulation region, and a source follower circuit including a driver transistor having the same structure as the reset transistor. An electric charge accumulation voltage of the electric charge accumulation region can be set to the electric charge discharge potential through the reset transistor. An output voltage from the source follower circuit is the electric charge discharge potential.
