PURPOSE:To improve sensitivity and resolution and to implement high density, by alternately arranging a plurality of light receiving elements and vertical transfer CCDs, which are aligned along the direction of a column, injecting signal charge in a substrate by pairs of MOS electrodes, which are scanned by a horizontal transfer control part, and reading the charge. CONSTITUTION:Signal charge, which is stored in a light receiving part 1, is simultaneously transferred to a vertical transfer CCD as the total picture elements during a part of a vertical blanking period. The signal charge, which is moved to the vertical transfer CCD, is sent to pairs of MOS electrodes 3 at the standard scanning speed of television. At this time, a signal for one scanning in the vertical direction is sequentially transferred downward in parallel with other signals. At the same time when a gate electrode 9 is cut OFF, only an electrode 31, in which the signal charge is stored, is set at an L level. The signal charge is moved to a part beneath another electrode 32. When the electrodes 32 are sequentially scanned by a horizontal shift register 5, the charge is injected in a substrate 6. The charge is taken out as a video signal in one horizontal direction through a circuit 8. |
