Abstract
In a CCD in which a pixel is defined by at least two adjacent gate electrodes, voltages are applied to both gate electrodes to simultaneously place both gates of each pixel in a mode of operation whereby holes are accumulated at the surface of a substrate in which the CCD is formed. Preferably one of these voltages is at a higher potential level than the other.
