Solid-state imaging device and method for driving the same

A method for driving a solid-state imaging device, the solid-state imaging device including:

• at least one pixel section;
• and
• a control section for controlling an operation of the at least one pixel section;
• wherein:
• the at least one pixel section includes:
• a light receiving section for outputting charges by performing photo-electric conversion of light incident thereon, and
• a transistor section having a charge accumulation region for accumulating the charges output by the light receiving section,
• the method comprising the steps of:
• outputting an output signal from the transistor section, the output signal representing a voltage value corresponding to an amount of charges accumulated in the charge accumulation region, and
• for resetting the charges accumulated in the charge accumulation region after the output signal is output from the transistor section, injecting charges into the charge accumulation region before discharging the accumulated charges from the charge accumulation region.
