Solid-state imaging device.

摘要

A solid-state imaging device employs CCDs as vertical shift registers (2-1,2-2) and a horizontal shift register (3') for vertically and horizontally scanning and reading out a large number of photoelectric elements (1-1, 1-2, 1'-1, 1'-2) arrayed in a two-dimensional plane. The photoelectric elements (1-1, 1'-2) of each column arranged between the vertical shift registers are alternately connected to the right and left vertical shift registers (2-1, 2-2). Owing to this structure, the resolution of the device of the present invention is sharply enhanced.
