ABSTRACT:
A CCD-based solid state image sensing (imaging) device and a driving method, enabling three-color still or video image signal charge processing without requiring a frame memory buffer. By using horizontal electrodes to selectively assert predetermined vertical-driving signals of the vertical CCDs, the vertical CCDs receive and vertically transmit the image signals (charges) of active pairs of vertically adjacent rows. Each active pair of adjacent rows is separated by (at least) two (a pair of) inactive adjacent rows, and the image signal (charges) of the active pair of adjacent rows represent all three colors (R, G, B) of one line (or one field) of real-image pixels. A horizontal CCD receives the selected image signals (charges) for each active row among the active pairs of rows, and outputs the image signals (charges) for each active row by conventional horizontal transmission to an interpolator adapted to continuously output three-color pixel signals (e.g., digital signals), e.g., for driving a digital display apparatus, without requiring a full-frame memory buffer.
