ABSTRACT:
An image sensor comprises photo sensing elements, having charge storage capability, for transducing received light into electrical quantities. First switching elements have charge storage capability for transferring the charge stored in the photo sensing elements. Second switching elements have charge storage capability for resetting the photo sensing elements by removing the charge still left in the photo sensing elements after the charge transfer. The image sensor further comprises a first gate pulse generator for generating a first pulse signal to be applied to the first switching elements, and a second gate pulse generator for generating a second pulse signal to be applied to the second switching elements, the amplitude of the second pulse signal being different from that of the first pulse signal. The potential applied to the source electrodes of the second switching elements is different from ground potential.
