摘要： An image reading apparatus is disclosed which improves reading accuracy by eliminating the effect of crosstalk between neighboring signal lines and removing residual charge, which cause residual images, without complicating the configuration of the image processing circuit. The elimination of the crosstalk effect is based on a relational expression among the electric potentials of three adjacent common signal lines, the load capacitances of the lines, and the coupling capacitances between the center line and each of the outer lines. The residual charge removal uses another relational expression among the scan data from a common signal line, the scan data previously supplied from the same common signal line, and the capacitances of the photodiode section and the wiring section.

摘要： A close-contact image sensing device has at least a plurality of blocks each including the combinations each consisting of a photo sensing element and a photo sensing element select switch connected in series to the photo sensing element, and a common signal line used, when an image signal is read in each block. A read signal flows through the common signal line. An amount of charge as is stored in an equivalent capacitor of the photo sensing element in accordance with an amount of light incident on the photo sensing element, is transferred to a capacitor connected to the common signal line by turning on the photo sensing element select switch. In the image sensing device, a reset switch is connected at one end to a node between the photo sensing element and the photo sensing element select switch, and at the other end to a ground point. A photo sensing element select signal, which is applied to the photo sensing element select switch in a block in which a read operation will be executed, is also applied as a reset signal to the reset switch in a block in which a read operation has been completed, whereby the charge as still left in the photo sensing element after the charge transfer is drained to the ground point.
