The first transfer unit 12a, which is constituted with a transistor M1a, transfers an electric charge resulting from photoelectric conversion at the first photoelectric conversion unit 11a, to the first FD 14a. The first FD 14a accumulates the electric charge transferred to the first FD 14a. The first amplifier unit 15a, constituted with a transistor M3a, amplifies a signal generated based upon the electric charge accumulated in the first FD 14a and outputs the amplified signal. The first reset unit 13a, constituted with a transistor M2a, resets a voltage at the first FD 14a. The first selection unit 16, constituted with a transistor, outputs the signal from the first amplifier unit 15a to a first vertical signal line VL1.
The second transfer unit 12b, which is constituted with a transistor M1b, transfers an electric charge resulting from photoelectric conversion at the second photoelectric conversion unit 11b, to the second FD 14b. The second FD 14b accumulates the electric charge transferred to the second FD 14b. The second amplifier unit 15b, constituted with a transistor M3b, amplifies a signal generated based upon the electric charge accumulated in the second FD 14b and outputs the amplified signal. The second reset unit 13b, constituted with a transistor M2b, resets a voltage at the second FD 14b. The second selection unit 17, constituted with a transistor, outputs the signal from the second amplifier unit 15b to a second vertical signal line VL2.
