Abstract
Provided is a solid-state image pickup device capable of outputting fine quality image signals at high speed. Vertical transfer sectionsand a distribution transfer sectionhave a common pattern of electrodes for each 2n+1 (n is an integer equal to or greater than 1) and comprise driving electrodes Vto V, VR, VL, VR, and VL, to which driving pulses φVto φV, φVR, φVL, φVR, and φVL are applied. The driving electrodes V, V, V, and Vare shared by all columns and the driving electrodes V, VR, VL, VR, and VL are independent electrodes which are separated in an island-like manner. The distribution transfer sectioncontrols, independently for each column, reading out signal charges from the vertical transfer sectionsto the horizontal transfer section
