The present invention consists in providing a CCD type color solid-state imager in which color signals respectively separated in time can be derived from picture elements for respective colors arrayed in the shape of a matrix and which permits interlacing without degrading a resolution and without causing image lag. Concretely, pairs of CCD shift registers which are electrically insulated and separated and which run in the vertical direction are arrayed in the horizontal direction, signal charges stored in adjacent picture elements are sent into the individual opposing CCD registers through transfer gates arrayed in a checkerboard pattern, and signal charges transferred in time sequence are distributed to a plurality of CCD shift registers which run in the horizontal direction, whereby a CCD type color solid-state imager having a high resolution and exhibiting no image lag is obtained.
