CCD linear image sensor including a CCD shift register on both sides of linearly arranged photosensor cells

Year	Description
1992	Invention patented by Kazuo Miwada on January 20th, 1992. Abstract: A CCD linear image sensor comprises an array of linearly arranged photosensor cells, and a pair of CCD shift registers respectively arranged on both sides of the array of linearly arranged photosensor cells. The CCD shift registers are coupled in parallel to the linearly arranged photosensor cell array so as to read out signal charges from predetermined photosensor cells of the linearly arranged photosensor cell array and to transfer the read-out signal charge serially in the CCD shifter register. An output end of each CCD shift register is branched into a pair of CCD shift register transfer paths. An output circuit is connected to an output terminal of each of the branched CCD shift register transfer paths.
