Abstract

In an embodiment, a solid-state image sensor comprises: pixels arranged in columns and rows; read signal lines each connected to pixels arranged in a row direction; and output signal lines each connected to pixels arranged in a column direction. The read signal lines are classified into a first type of read signal lines each connected to a group of pixels on which R and B rays are incident, and a second type of read signal lines each connected to a group of pixels on which G rays are incident. Two pixels (R, B) on two adjacent columns are arranged on two opposite sides with respect to the first type of read signal line. Two pixels (Gr, Gb) on two adjacent columns are arranged on two opposite sides with respect to the second type of read signal line.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A solid-state image sensor comprising:
a pixel array including a plurality of pixels that are arranged in columns and rows;
a plurality of read signal lines, each of which is connected to a number of pixels that are arranged in a row direction;
a plurality of output signal lines, each of which is connected to a number of pixels that are arranged in a column direction;
a color filter array which defines the color red, blue and green components of light…
