PURPOSE:To obtain a frame picture even if an electronic shutter is operated for the application of the titled device to an electronic still camera by providing the 1st and the 2nd vertical transfer registers at each vertical line of a photodetector. CONSTITUTION:Many photodetectors 2a, 2b are arranged in the form of a matrix on a semiconductor substrate 9 and also the 1st and the 2nd vertical transfer registers 10a, 10b are provided at each vertical line of the photodetectors. In order to obtain an output from a solid-state image pickup device constituted in this way, the electric charge stored in the photodetector 2a is read at the odd number field by using the 1st vertical transfer register 10a and a horizontal transfer register 4 at first. The electric charge stored in the photodetector 2b is read at the even number field by using the 2nd vertical transfer register 10b and the horizontal transfer register 4. The frame picture is formed by using said two fields above. |
