Patent attributes
A solid-state imaging apparatus including a reset means for resetting an electric charge accumulation means, an amplification means for amplifying a signal corresponding to signal charges accumulated at the electric charge accumulation means, and a selection means for activating an outputting to a signal output line of the signal amplified by the amplification means; and a control section for, when resetting the electric charge accumulation means, effecting control so as to bring a potential of a control terminal of a signal transfer means to a negative potential at least immediately before a reset operation by the reset means and to bring the potential of the control terminal of the signal transfer means to a potential higher than the negative potential after the reset operation.
