ABSTRACT:
In addition to transfer units for transferring electric charges generated from photo receiving units for every cell, a high-speed transfer unit is provided which transfers electric charges generated from the photo receiving units collectively on a unit basis of plural cells, whereby a reading speed can be made higher without making the operation speed of a driving circuit higher. To be more concrete, the number of shift cycles necessary for transferring from the transfer unit electric charges generated from the photo receiving units during the open time period of a shutter or electric charges generated from the photo receiving units during a time period except for the open time period of the shutter can be reduced.
