Face sequential color image pickup device

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To improve the using efficiency of a light beam and to enhance a sensitivity by attaining a color image pickup face sequentially without providing the shading period of an illuminating light beam. CONSTITUTION:The image of an object 2 illuminated face sequentially is formed on the image pickup surface of the solid-state image pickup element 8 of an X-Y address type by an objective lens 7, a photoelectrically transferred and outputted signal is stored in a frame memory 9 consisting of three field memo ries 9a-9c switched for every field. A signal read from the field memory 9 is inputted to a matrix circuit 11 for multiplying a coefficient depending on the timing or the like of the reading of the solid-state image pickup element 8 and adding, to form respective single primary color signals and the object image is color displayed on a color monitor 12. Thereby, since the shading period is not provided, a signal level is higher than when the shading period is provided and a highly sensitive and clear color video is obtained.
