PURPOSE:To enable homogeneous infrared images to be obtained without generating distortion in a picked-up image by a method wherein, in the case of one-row arrangement of a plurality of the titled elements in the relation that the impressing characteristic of bias voltage becomes reversely directional, the center lines of photo receiving planes of the elements becoming reversely directional are shifted off from one another. CONSTITUTION:The titled elements are, with respect to the center line 31 in design, formed by the positional shift of the center lines of the photo receiving planes in manufacture for every differece in direction of discrete electrodes 32. For example, an infrared-ray detection element 35 having discrete electrodes 32A, 32B, 32C..., photo receiving planes 33A, 33B, 33C..., and a common electrode 34; an infrared-ray detection element 39 having discrete electrodes 36A, 36B, 36C..., a common electrode 37, and photo receiving lanes 38A, 38B, 38C...; and an infrared-ray detection element 43 having discrete electrodes 40A, 40B, 40C..., photo receiving planes 41A, 41B, 41C..., and a common electrode 42 are formed by the alternate directions of respective discrete electrodes. Besides, the photo receiving planes are shifted in position off the center line in design, respectively. This manner enables the sensitivity of an infrared-ray detection element to show the peak value at the position of the center line 51 in design of a photo receiving plane. |
