ABSTRACT:
A solid state imaging device capable of converting one-dimensional or two-dimensional optical information into an electrical signal is disclosed. A signal charge stored in each of a plurality of photo-electric converter elements, which is proportional to the amount of incident light, is read into a corresponding stage of a charge transfer device through a switching transistor under the control of a read control pulse. The read control pulse is applied through a clock line of the charge transfer device so that the clock line is used both for read-in and for transfer. In this manner, one picture element of the imaging device is constructed of one photo-cell and two transistors whereby a high integration density of the solid state imaging device is attained.
