摘要： A solid-state color imaging apparatus having a plurality of picture elements for converting incident light to signal charges with the picture elements being arrayed regularly in both a horizontal direction and a vertical direction to form horizontal rows and vertical columns. First color filters are on the picture elements in odd numbered rows for providing modulation characteristics of color components and causing the picture elements in the odd numbered rows to generate a first color difference signal. Second color filters are on the picture elements in even numbered rows for providing modulation characteristics of color components and causing the picture elements in the even numbered rows to generate a second color difference signal. The first and second color difference signals are substantially zero when achromatic light is incident upon the picture elements or is picked up at a reference color temperature.

摘要： A solid state image sensor capable of preventing image degradation, such as shading and ringing, from occurring in an image portion along the left edge of a screen. The solid state image sensor includes, in addition to a horizontal drive circuit that generates a horizontal drive pulse for driving a horizontal register, a pseudo-horizontal drive circuit that generates a pseudo-horizontal drive pulse successive to the horizontal drive pulse during a horizontal blanking interval. The horizontal drive circuit and pseudo-horizontal drive circuit are connected to a horizontal driver power supply unit, which generates, during the horizontal blanking interval, a current that is equal to a current generated by the horizontal driver power supply unit during an effective interval. This arrangement can prevent any power supply ripples from occurring immediately after the beginning of the effective interval.

摘要： An image sensor is fabricated on an n type silicon substrate haivng a p type well overlain by a photo shield plate, and photo diodes are formed in the p type well and exposed through an opening in the photo shield plate to an optical image, in which the silicon substrate and the photo shield plate are biased so that punch through phenomena take place between the silicon substrate and the photo diodes for sweeping ineffectual electric charges into the substrate, thereby achieving an electronic shutter mode of operating without any complicate impurity profiles.
