Abstract
An image sensor device capable of snap shot color applications comprising an array of image registers for converting the light from successive image frame exposures into indicative charge packets, and an array of light-shielded storage registers interspersed in regular displacements among the array of image registers for receiving the transfer of the charge packets from adjacent image registers over multiple image frame exposures, whereby, for example, red, green, and blue color image frames can be rapidly acquired upon the opening of a flash exposure shutter, and very rapidly transferred in parallel into the storage registers from which the three frames can be read out as a color image when the shutter is closed.
