| 1. A solid state image pick-up device comprising:
an array having a plurality of lines on which a plurality of photoelectric converting elements are arranged;
a first output line for capacitively holding and then transmitting a first signal from a plurality of photoelectric converting
elements belonging to a selected line;
a second output line for capacitively holding and then transmitting a second signal from said plurality of photoelectric converting
elements belonging to said selected line; and
a differential circuit for receiving said first signal from said first output line, receiving said second signal from said
second output line, and outputting a difference between said first signal and said second signal,
wherein said first output line and said second output line are arranged on a first layer, and shields for suppressing crosstalk
between said first output line and said second output line are arranged in a plurality of layers including said first layer
and a second layer on which said first and second output lines are not arranged, and
wherein, in at least one layer different from said first layer, said shields are arranged in positions excluding a position
where said first output line vertically projects and a position where said second output line vertically projects.
