ABSTRACT:
The photo-receptive area (21) of an image sensor is formed from a plurality of pixels (20) each having a sensor (23) for generating an electric signal in response to a brightness of incident light. To the sensors (23) are connected signal storage/read-out CCDs (24A-24F), respectively, each comprising a plurality of charge storages (25a-25f) and being elongated over two or more of the plurality of pixels (20). A plurality of the linear-shaped signal storage/read-out CCDs (24A-24F) are arranged parallel within a width of each pixel (20). For an image sensing process, electric signals generated in the sensors of the pixels (20) are transferred parallel in one direction by the plurality of signal storage/read-out CCDs (24A-24F), by which the electric signals generated in the sensors are stored in the charge storages (25a-25f) of the signal storage/read-out CCDs (24A-24F). For a signal read process, the electric signals stored in the charge storages (25a-25f) of the signal storage/read-out CCDs (24A-24F) are transferred parallel in the same direction as in the image sensing process, by which the electric signals are read out of the photo-receptive surface (21).
