Solid state area imaging apparatus

摘要

Solid state area imaging apparatus consisting of a X-Y addressed photodiode array, a p-s conversion area and an output CCD register. In this apparatus, stored signal charges in the photodiode array are read out a line at a time into column lines during a horizontal blanking period. Then, signal charges or charges corresponding to the signal charges are transferred into the corresponding positions of the output CCD register and read out therefrom during a horizontal scanning period to produce a video signal.
