Abstract
A linear color CCD for an image sensor and a method of driving the same. The linear color CCD comprises a photodiode array section for performing a photoelectric conversion operation to produce signal charges corresponding to red, green and blue color signals, the photodiode array section having a first photodiode array for producing the signal charges corresponding to the green color signal, a second photodiode array disposed over the first photodiode array for producing the signal charges corresponding to the red color signal and a third photodiode array disposed under the first photodiode array for producing the signal charges corresponding to the blue color signal, a horizontal CCD analog shift register section having a first horizontal CCD analog shift register disposed between the first and second photodiode arrays to shift the signal charges from the first and second photodiodes horizontally and a second horizontal CCD analog shift register disposed between the first and third photodiode arrays to shift the signal charges from the first and third photodiodes horizontally, and a shift gate section for shifting the signal charges from the photodiode array section to the horizontal CCD analog shift register section upon being turned on.
