Abstract In a photoelectric transducer apparatus having a plurality of photoelectric transducer elements each having a capacitor electrode formed on a control electrode of a corresponding semiconductor transistor, the apparatus being adapted to sequentially select each element in units of lines, to control a potential of the control electrode of the selected photoelectric transducer element through the capacitor electrode, to store carriers in the control electrode region, and to read out a signal component corresponding to the amount of charge, the apparatus includes: optical information storing memory for storing optical information read out from the photoelectric transducer element; and dark voltage storing memory for storing a voltage corresponding to a dark voltage read out from the photoelectric transducer element, and actual optical information stored in the optical information storing memory and information corresponding to the dark voltage component stored in the dark voltage storing memory are simultaneously read out onto different information output lines.
A photoelectric transducer apparatus including: photoelectric transducer cells arranged in rows and columns for forming an electric signal in response to incident light, each cell being capable of being non-destructively read out; readout signal lines for reading out the electric signal from said photoelectric transducer cells; a plurality of storing means connected to each of said signal lines for temporarily storing the electric signal from said photoelectric transducer cells; and control means for introducing each electric signal formed in one predetermined row of said cells through one of said signal lines to one of said plurality of storing means connected to said one signal line and thereafter introducing each electric signal formed in another row of said cells through said one signal line to another one of said plurality of storing means connected to said one signal line and thereafter clearing the predetermined two rows of said cells.
