Patent ID: 7060958

Claim:
A compact-size image-sensing device, which is composed of a plurality of image-sensing elements that are connected to one another and is connected to a signal output terminal bus, wherein each image-sensing element includes: a photosensitizing unit, which has an original voltage to sense light energy and convert the sensed light energy into an electrical signal for outputting so that a voltage difference can be generated; a reset circuit, which is used to charge the photosensitizing unit so that the photosensitizing unit can be reset back to its original voltage level before photosensitizing; and a readout circuit, which is connected to the photosensitizing unit and the signal output terminal bus to store the electrical signal as well as to read out the electrical signal to the signal output terminal bus; in the above-mentioned configuration, the reset circuit of a first image-sensing element is connected to the readout circuit of a second image-sensing element, whereas the connecting relationships between subsequent image-sensing elements that are after a third image-sensing element will be the same as that of between the first and the second image-sensing element so that when the readout circuit of the latter image-sensing element is performing reading-out, the reset circuit of the former image-sensing element will be performing resetting at the same time; therefore, every two image-sensing elements will perform reading-out and resetting simultaneously and respectively.
