Abstract:
A solid imaging device comprising:a pixel line constituted by a plurality of photoelectric converting sections, said photoelectric converting sections being arranged to one line;a CCD register for transferring signal electric charge converted a prescribed direction in order,and an output circuit for outputting an analog signal in accordance with the signal electric charge outputted from said CCD register,said CCD register having first and second electric charge transfer sections, each of the first and second electric transfer sections transferring roughly the half amount of the signal electric charge converted at each of said photoelectric converting section in said pixel line, respectively; andsaid solid imaging device further comprising:a first shift electrode for transferring signal electric charge converted at each of said photoelectric converting section to said first electric charge transfer section in the direction substantially orthogonal to the direction of said pixel line, anda second shift electrode for transferring signal electric charge converted at each of said photoelectric converting section to said second electric charge transfer section in the direction substantially orthogonal to the direction of said pixel line,wherein after the signal electric charge transferred from said first and second electric charge transfer sections is conflated, an analog signal in accordance with the conflated signal electric charge is outputted from said output circuit.
