| 摘要 |
The present invention concerns an image sensor in particular for endoscopic applications or miniaturised surveillance cameras, said sensor comprising a matrix of image points arranged to provide an image of an explored area of which the shape substantially corresponds to the geometry of said matrix. This sensor consists of a matrix of photodetector cells structured in rows and columns orthogonal to each other which has a polygonal shape of which the contour comprises at least five sides that form part of a closed line, with orthogonal edges and oblique edges. The present invention proposes a solution to position the column and row address elements which allows each photoconductive cell to be connected to a current or voltage readout circuit, along the oblique edges such that the space beyond the matrix of photodetector elements is not substantially increased along said oblique edges. |
