Abstract
A solid state color imaging apparatus with a color encoding filter and a solid state area imaging device for producing a color signal representing an optical image of an object. The color filter is formed from a plurality of pairs of color filter strips arranged one above the other in a vertical scanning direction, each of which color filter strips consists of alternating transmissivity filter elements of two different colors. The color filter is placed on the imaging device so that each photosensitive element of the imaging device is covered with a corresponding filter element. During the self-scanning of the area imaging device, first and second signals which represent color difference signals are derived therefrom alternately in the successive scan lines, from which the color signal is produced.
