PURPOSE:To improve the resolution, by splitting a image pickup ray with an optical path splitter and arranging a solid-state image pickup element to the split paths respectively so that the non-photosensitive range between picture elements is covered. CONSTITUTION:The image pickup ray incident from an object through a image pickup lens 11 is split into a image pickup ray incident to a solid-state image pickup element 13 after going straight through a prism 12 and a image pickup ray incident to a solid-state image piuckup element 13' after being reflected on the prism 12. The optical image in the line direction of the matrix, i.g., the optical image of the same vertical position shifted by a half the horizontal picture element interval, is made incident to both the elements 13, 13'. The output from both the elements 13, 13' is amplified at amplifiers 14, 14' and positioned at a delay circuit 15, added at a mixing circuit 16 and led out via an amplifier circuit 17. |
