ABSTRACT:
A solid state image pickup element including: an MOS image sensor comprising: photoelectric conversion elements arranged in rows and columns; vertical selection lines extending along the rows; vertical signal lines extending along the columns; a vertical switching device associated with each photoelectric conversion element and controlled by an associated vertical selection line for selectively connecting an output of the associated photoelectric conversion element to an associated vertical signal line; a horizontal switching device associated with each column for selectively connecting an associated vertical signal line to an output line; a vertical shift register for controlling the vertical switching device through the vertical selection lines; and a horizontal shift register for controlling the horizontal switching device. The photoelectric conversion elements are divided into sets of m.times.n contiguous photoelectric conversion elements, and each set is divided into groups of photoelectric conversion elements. All of the photoelectric conversion elements in each group are associated with color filters having the same color; and the vertical switching devices associated with the photoelectric conversion elements in all but one of the groups selectively connect the outputs of all of the photoelectric conversion elements in a single group to one vertical signal line associated with the single group. The photoelectric conversion elements of the one group is connected to a number of vertical signal lines.
