Patent ID: 8692913

Claim:
A solid-state electronic image sensing apparatus comprising: a MOS sensor having optoelectronic transducers in each of which a color filter having a characteristic for transmitting a light component of the color red, green or blue or of the color cyan, magenta or yellow is formed on a photoreceptor surface, the optoelectronic transducers being arrayed in odd-numbered rows and odd-numbered columns and in even-numbered columns and even-numbered rows, or in odd-numbered rows and even-numbered columns and even-numbered rows and odd-numbered columns, wherein the characteristics of color filters that have been formed in two optoelectronic transducers in a diagonal direction in a [4n (where n is an integer equal to or greater than zero)+1]th row and (4n+2)th row are the same and the characteristics of color filters that have been formed in two optoelectronic transducers in a diagonal direction in a (4n+3)th row and (4n+4)th row are the same; and a read-out control device for controlling said MOS sensor so as to read out and output, as a first video signal, signal charge, which has accumulated in optoelectronic transducers of odd-numbered rows, one row at a time or one column at a time in turn, and read out and output, as a second video signal, signal charge, which has accumulated in optoelectronic transducers of even-numbered rows, one column at a time or one row at a time in turn so as to differ from read-out of the signal charge that has accumulated in the optoelectronic transducers of the odd-numbered rows.
