Patent ID: 6975292

Claim:
An image display apparatus comprising: an imaging section which is formed as a charge-coupled device (CCD) imaging device and converts an optical image to first signals representing the image, said imaging section including: photoelectronic conversion devices arranged in the form of a matrix formed by lines and columns for converting the optical image to signal charges, vertical transfer paths arranged adjacent to the respective columns of said photoelectronic conversion devices, each of said vertical transfer paths transferring the signal charges toward one end in accordance with vertical driving pulses, transfer gates for transferring the signal charges generated by said photoelectronic conversion devices to the respective vertical transfer paths in accordance with field shift pulses, and output circuits for converting the signal charges arrived at the one end of said vertical transfer paths to the first signals and outputting the first signals in parallel column by column of said matrix from said imaging section; and a display section which displays the image represented by the first signals, said display section including: display devices arranged in the form of a matrix, each of said display devices having an image signal input terminal and a control signal input terminal, and displaying the image represented by first signals applied to the image signal input terminal at the time of application of driving pulses to the control signal input terminal, input circuits comprising signal buses for receiving the first signals from said imaging section and outputting second signals corresponding to the received first signals to the image signal input terminals in parallel column by column of said matrix, and a vertical driving circuit for outputting the driving pulses to the control signal input terminals over control buses line by line of said matrix in a predetermined order.
