Patent ID: 7027093

Claim:
An image sensing device for transferring electric charge to convert a light image into an electric signal by a plurality of photoelectric converters disposed in a CCD, the image sensing device comprising: a plurality of pixel areas divided in the CCD for transferring an electric charge from the photoelectric converters; a plurality of vertical transfer CCDs for transferring the electric charge from the plurality of photoelectric converters in a vertical direction; a plurality of oblique shift CCDs for transferring the electric charge from the vertical transfer CCD to shift the electric charge in an oblique direction; first and a second horizontal transfer CCDs for transferring the electric charge respectively, the electric charge being transferred from the oblique shift CCD in the horizontal direction to output an electric signal; and first and a second output stages for outputting the electric signal respectively, the electric signal being transferred from the first and the second horizontal transfer CCD in each divided pixel area, the first and the second output stage being at least disposed respectively contiguous to the boundary of the pixel areas adjacent one another in the CCD, first and a second electric charge injectors for supplying respectively a reference signal of a predetermined level to the output of the first or second horizontal transfer CCD, the first and second electric charge injectors being arranged respectively between the first output stage and the second output stage.
