Abstract
A solid-state imaging device is provided which employs CCDs as vertical shift registers and a horizontal shift register for vertically and horizontally scanning and reading out a large number of photoelectric elements arrayed in a two-dimensional plane. The imaging device is characterized in that the photoelectric elements of each column arranged between the vertical shift registers are alternately connected to the right and left vertical shift registers. This results in the resolution of the device being enhanced sharply.
