    摘要: A photoelectric converter generates a charge corresponding to the exposure amount during an exposure period. The generated-charge retention portion and the output charge retention portion retain the charge. The generated-charge transfer portion transfers the charge from the photoelectric converter to the generated-charge retention portion to perform the transfer after the elapse of the exposure period. The retained-charge transfer portion transfers the charge retained in the generated-charge retention portion to the output charge retention portion to perform the transfer. The generated-charge retention gate portion applies a control voltage that is a voltage for controlling potential of the generated-charge retention portion to the generated-charge retention portion during a period of the transfer and the retained-charge transfer, applies a bias voltage that is a voltage having a polarity different from the control voltage to the generated-charge retention portion during a period different from the period of the generated-charge transfer and the retained-charge transfer.
