Abstract
A solid-state area imaging device for generating an output indicative of an intensity distribution of light received at a predetermined plane is so constructed that the undesired charges of light-receiver photodiodes and the undesired charges of a vertical transfer section are drained collectively. This construction realizes a solid-state area imaging device having a high picture element density and capable of ensuring a high resolution and more particularly a high-efficiency solid-state area imaging device having interline transfer CCD means and well suited for use with electronic shutter equipped electronic still picture cameras or variable shutter speed video cameras.
