Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An IC image sensor device may include image sensing IC pixels arranged in an array, and pixel line pairs coupled to the image sensing IC pixels. The IC image sensor device may include circuitry coupled to the pixel line pairs and configured to operate the array in a global shutter mode. Each pair of the pixel line pairs may include a pair of spaced electrical conductors having a twist.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
