Abstract: The invention particularly relates to image sensors having a large size or a large number of lines. Each pixel column (C1) is organised into P vertically adjacent blocks (C11 to C14). A line decoder organised as P identical decoders (DEC1 to DEC4) selects a line from among M in each of the P blocks. Each block is connected to a respective column conductor among P column conductors. P reading circuits (CL1 to CL4) are arranged at the foot of each pixel column and each of them is connected to a respective column conductor. The signals from the P lines selected by the decoder can be simultaneously extracted or can be selected by a specific decoder that selects a reading circuit among the P reading circuits in each column. The array can be made by photolithography by abutting identical array portions, e.g. P different portions corresponding to P identical areas ZB1 to ZB4.
