Abstract:
A color linear charge coupled device (CCD) image device comprising:a photodiode array including a blue-sensing photo diode array formed between a red-sensing photodiode array and a green-sensing photodiode array, each of the photodiode arrays producing signal charges by photoelectric conversion;a storage area positioned on a side of said red-sensing photodiode array opposite said blue-sensing photodiode array for storing said signal charges produced by said red-sensing and blue-sensing photodiode arrays;a first horizontal charge coupled device (HCCD) shift register area positioned near a side of said green-sensing photodiode array opposite said blue-sensing photodiode array for accepting said signal charge produced by said green-sensing photodiode array; anda second HCCD shift register area formed beside said storage area for alternately accepting said signal charges produced by said red-sensing and blue-sensing photodiode arrays.
