LIGHT SENSITIVE SENSOR UNIT FOR AN ELECTRONIC CAMERA WITH A FLAT ARRANGEMENT OF PIXELS AND A METHOD OF READING PIXELS FOR COLOUR SIGNAL PROCESSING

摘要

Disclosed is a light sensitive sensor unit for an electronic camera comprising a flat, gridlike arrangement of pixels with columns and lines. The pixels are individually addressable by means of an address decoder and are connected in columns to read wires and can be read by a readout unit. The invention is characterized in that at least two read wires are provided in each column and are connected to pixels located in each column in addition to a readout unit so that a selected central pixel can be isochronously and electrically read, both independently and together with the directly and/or indirectly adjacent pixels forming a group together.
