Abstract
The invention relates to a charge-coupled image sensor of the line transfer type comprising a number of parallel lines (2-6) which are each constituted by an n-phase CCD. An electrode (12-16) of each CCD is arranged parallel to this CCD separately for each CCD. The other (n-1) electrodes (17-20) extend transversely to the charge transport direction over all CCD's. The first-mentioned electrode (12-16) is used as a selection gate and is moreover used, depending upon the applied voltage, as an integration gate or as a blocking gate during the integration period.
