Abstract
The present invention relates to an image recording device (10), comprising: an image section (11) with a number of picture elements (pixels) arranged in rows and columns; a storage section (12) with image storage elements arranged in rows and columns for (temporarily) at least partially storing charge absorbed by the pixels, wherein the charge is transferred to the storage elements; wherein one or more gates close to the transition (13) between the image section and the storage section are lengthened.
Claims18
An image recording device, comprising:
- an image section with a number of picture elements arranged in rows and columns;
- a storage section with image storage elements arranged in rows and columns for at least partially storing charge absorbed by the pixels, wherein the charge is transferred to the storage elements, wherein the number of rows in the storage section is fewer than the number of rows in the image section;
- characterized in that one or more gates close to the transition between the image section and the storage section are longer than gates more remote from the transition.
