摘要： In a sandwich type image sensor having a photoelectric converting portion comprising a photoelectric conductive layer interposed between an upper electrode and a lower electrode, a light-shielding means is provided for selectively covering an end portion of the photoelectric conductive layer so as to be excluded from a light-receiving area of the converting portion. Alternatively, an insulating layer partly blocking the contact between the photoelectric conductive layer and the lower electrode is provided for effectively defining the light-receiving area of the converting portion. In an example where the photoelectric is divided so that it is operable as those of a plurality of sensor elements arranged in a row, a light-shielding means is provided for defining light-receiving areas of the sensor elements, while overlapping areas of the upper and lower electrodes are adjusted for equalizing the stray capacitances of the sensor elements inclusive of their connecting portions.

摘要： An image reader including: a scanning mechanism section for holding an imaging optical unit and a solid-state image pick-up device, and for rotating the imaging optical unit and the solid-state image pick-up device in an arbitrary direction and another direction orthogonal to that arbitrary direction respectively, so that an original image can be picked up with an arbitrary resolution while being segmented into a plurality of pieces; and a control section for driving the scanning mechanism section in accordance with the original image and for synthesizing the segmented image to produce original image data. As a result of this construction, the image reader is down-sized and does not require that the original be placed on the platen glass facedown and at a predetermined position, to dispense with the conventionally required complicated operation.

摘要： An image sensor has blocks of light-receiving elements which are switched by respective associated thin-film transistors. Charges generated in the light-receiving elements are transferred to respective common signal lines through a matrix wiring on a block basis. Capacitor forming lines are formed above the common signal lines in a crossed relationship through an interposed insulating layer to provide a capacitance substantially equal to a source-gate overlap capacitance of each thin-film switching transistor. A voltage signal in an inverse phase relation to a gate control signal is applied to the capacitor forming lines to cancel out coupling of the gate control signal to the potential of the common signal lines.

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.
