Abstract
In a CCD sensor in which electric charges derived from a plurality of detecting elementsare outputted from a signal output portion, two diffusion portionsA andB are provided in a parallel manner to each other in the signal output portion, and electric charges outputted from a designated detecting elementare accumulated into one diffusion portionsA so as to output the accumulated electric charges. Even in such a case that signal levels derived from detecting elements are low, such a CCD sensor capable of performing a high-precision measuring operation is provided, while a dynamic range of the CCD sensor is widened.
