A low-power CMOS image sensor that gets distinct images in which interference does not occur between adjacent pixels without changing an element in a circuit. Each of pixel circuits arranged like a matrix converts incident light into electrical signals with a photoelectric conversion element. Image signals output from pixel circuits adjacent to each other in a horizontal direction are input to a signal processing circuit in each column, undergo predetermined signal processing, and are switched and output in order by a horizontal scanning circuit. The signal processing circuits are arranged and each of fixed potential wirings parallel to one another is located between adjacent signal processing circuits. Therefore, adjacent signal processing circuits are electrically shielded by a fixed potential wiring.
