ABSTRACT:
An image pickup apparatus includes light receiving areas arranged two-dimensionally. A vertical scanning circuit comprises unit circuit stages arranged in the vertical direction and a horizontal scanning circuit comprises unit circuit stages arranged in the horizontal direction, for selecting and reading light receiving areas in succession. The vertical and horizontal scanning circuits are arranged in spaces between the light receiving areas. Two or more unit circuit stages of the vertical scanning circuit are provided in a first space between the light receiving areas. Two or more unit circuit stages of the horizontal scanning circuit are provided in a second space between the light receiving areas. Two or more unit circuit stages of a scanning circuit are provided in a third space between the light receiving areas, the third space being provided in a space between the light receiving areas at a crossing area of the vertical and horizontal scanning circuits.
