Linear image sensor device

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To apply optical linearization of a picture element signal efficiently with a simple optical system by arranging stereoscopically the zigzag arrangement of photosensor elements. CONSTITUTION:Figure shows each photosensor element arrangement toward the opposite element expanded in flat view and illustrates the equivalent arranging state of the photosensor element arrangment of semiconductor chips A1, B1, A2- arranged in zigzag alont two parallel straight lines L1 and L2. When the photosensor element arrangement provided with each semiconductor chip consists of 10 sensor elements e0-e10, e11-e20, e21-e30, the sensor elements e10 and e11, e20 and e21- being the head and end of each arrangment are arranged while keeping the element interval (d) entirely similarly as the conventional same plane arrangement as the end overlapped effect of the semiconductor chips. Thus, picture element signals from the photosensor elements are arranged along one common straight line L0 and they are linearized opticaly.
