Abstract
The present invention provides a solid-state image sensing device that can reduce at least the number of pixels arranged in the horizontal direction and can output high quality picture signals at high speed without generating moire or alias. The solid-state image sensing device includes vertical transfer partsin which signal charges read out from photoelectric conversion partsarranged bidimensionally are transferred in the vertical direction stage by stage, a horizontal transfer partin which signal charges received from the vertical transfer partsare transferred in the horizontal direction, and a control unit that controls transfer operations of the vertical transfer partsand horizontal transfer part, wherein vertical last stages of the vertical transfer partshave transfer electrodes formed to have identical configurations repeated every 2n+1 (n denotes an integer of 1 or higher) columns, and vertical last stages of columns other than one column among the 2n+1 columns or all vertical stages are provided with transfer electrodes that are independent of those of the other vertical last stages.
