Solid-state image pick-up device having an arrangement to avoid adverse effects on the waveform of picture elements signal by the read-out start pulse

摘要

A solid-state image pick-up device is provided which will not have a waveform of the picture element signals adversely influenced by a start pulse of the read out. The device includes photoelectric converting elements arranged in a two dimensional array and a shift register for generating horizontal scan pulses in response to a start pulse and clock pulses. The scan pulses are provided to means for sequentially reading out picture element signals from the photoelectric converting elements. A clock pulse generator responsive to the start pulse is also provided which generates clock pulses to the shift register after a lapse of a predetermined period following the start pulse. The period is selected to avoid an adverse influence on the waveform of the picture element signals by the start pulse.
