ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a solid-state area imaging apparatus suitable for photographing a still picture. The apparatus comprises a plurality of vertical transfer electrodes and a pair of horizontal read CCDs, and the vertical transfer electrodes are vertically continuously arranged such that each electrode alternately crosses vertically adjoining two of a plurality of imaginary horizontal scanning lines thereby providing a plurality of photosensitive elements distributed in a checkered pattern on the imaging surface of the apparatus. This distribution of the photosensitive elements has the effect of applying the video signal to all the horizontal scanning lines. Thus, by using the existing integrated circuit technique, it is possible to realize a solid-state area imaging apparatus whose vertical resolution of reproduced still pictures is two times the vertical resolution obtained previously.
