Abstract
A color linear image sensor includes first, second and third photosensitive pixel trains disposed in parallel in a manner close to each other, wherein an interpixel transfer section (,) for holding signal charges produced at the second photosensitive pixel train is provided between the second and third photosensitive pixel trains (,). Since read-out operation from the second photosensitive pixel train is carried out by CCD register via the third photosensitive pixel train in the state where holding time is controlled by the interpixel transfer section, it is possible to freely adjust the integral time and the read-out timing.
