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.
