Abstract: An imaging device capable of taking an image in both a dark environment and a bright environment in a light amount range equivalent to or greater than that of human vision is desired. A wide dynamic range and high image quality are achieved. In order to obtain an image with a widened dynamic range, two capacitors, a large capacitor and a small capacitor, are provided in one pixel. The large capacitor is formed to be interposed between a transistor for controlling the amount of charge overflowed from the small capacitor and a transistor for resetting accumulated charge, and OS transistors are used as these two transistors. The OS transistor has extremely low off-state current characteristics, and thus can widen the dynamic range of imaging.
