Vertical transfer portions (3a to 3b) are provided for the respective columns of photodetectors (1a to 1c) arranged in a matrix. A charge transfer direction of every other vertical transfer portions (3a, 3c) is opposite to that of the remaining vertical transfer portions (3b, 3d). The charges transferred in the opposite directions are outputted in different horizontal transfer portions (5a, 5b). The charges transferred by the two horizontal transfer portions are outputted therefrom and brought together in a united form so as to be continuously outputted.
