A Time Delay Integration technique is applied to an image sensor of this invention. A sensor part is constructed in such a way that diagonally-arranged photo-sensors are arranged periodically lengthwise and widthwise. The signal charge read from the photo-sensors of each line is transferred vertically to horizontal CCD shift registers. Each horizontal CCD shift register is provided on each line of the diagonally- arranged photo-sensors, and the horizontal CCD shift register outputs the signal charge to an A/D converter, which converts the signal charge into a digital signal. Thus, one A/D converter processes only a small amount of data, and the object can be scanned at high speed.
