摘要

A charge transfer device is disclosed wherein three pixel rows are arranged adjacently to each other. First to third pixel rows are arranged adjacently to each other, and the charge transfer device includes a first charge transfer element for reading out and transferring signal charges generated in the first pixel row and a second charge transfer element for reading out and transferring signal charges generated in the second and third pixel rows. Second readout electrodes for reading out signal charges generated in the second pixel row into the second charge transfer element are provided with one electrode placed between adjacent pixels of the third pixel row.
