Abstract: A method for reading out signal charges in a solid-state image pickup unit providing either an improved resolution for a constant vertical integration density or a reduced vertical integration density while maintaining the same resolution. The photoelectric conversion elements of the unit are arranged in a matrix of rows and columns with m rows of photoelectric conversion elements being assigned to each scanning line. Signal charges generated in the photoelectric conversion elements during exposure are transferred to a vertical transfer section in the order of the m-th row to the first row in each scanning line, and then the charges are transferred to a horizontal charge transfer section using a four-phase driving method.

Abstract: A solid-state color imager comprised of a solid-state base comprised of a plurality of electrical switching elements said base further including photosensitive elements associated with some of the switching elements arranged in sets having superimposed thereon a plurality of photosensor layers which can detect and absorb different colors of light. Each photosensitive layer is comprised of an upper transparent continuous electrode sublayer, a photoconductive sublayer, and a back mosaic transparent electrode sublayer which is electrically connected to said base. When light strikes the outermost photosensitive layer, light of a particular color is absorbed, and in connection with said base, its presence is electrically detected and recorded.
