Abstract: A solid-state imaging element of the present disclosure includes a pixel array unit in which unit pixels each including a photoelectric conversion unit are arranged two-dimensionally in a matrix, and a floating diffusion is shared between a plurality of the unit pixels, and a drive unit that drives to discard, into the floating diffusion, a part of a charge of a non-read pixel sharing the floating diffusion with a read pixel, during a reset period of the floating diffusion of the read pixel for reading the charge.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to: an imaging element and an imaging-element drive method which enable negative-voltage fluctuation to be suppressed without increasing negative-voltage capacitance; an electronic device; and a program. A dual circuit is prepared for negative voltages. At times other than during exposure and reset, the negative voltage is supplied to readout transistors in lines other than a readout line. At timings other than these times, the negative voltage is supplied to the aforementioned readout transistors. Accordingly, even if the negative voltage fluctuates during exposure and reset, a stable negative voltage is supplied at timings at which other pixel data is read out, and thus fluctuation is suppressed. The present disclosure is applicable to imaging elements.
