Abstract
A 1/2.7 format 2.17M square pixel CCD image sensor has been developed. Four fields read-out method has been employed to increase a charge transfer capability of VCCD, a charge storage capability of photo-diode and an aperture width. New signal adding method has improved movie quality with suppressing a spurious color, lowering the smear ratio by half and heightening sensitivity double. Still imaging sensitivity of 250mV, saturation voltage of 430mV have been realized.
