Abstract
In a solid state image sensor of the type which employs an inter-line transfer charge-coupled imaging device, the electrodes of the vertical shift registers are enlarged to extend to places which lie between image pick-up portions aligned in the vertical direction of the device. Each of the image pick-up portions comprises an image sensing area and a transfer gate. Preferably, every other image pick-up portion of a conventional CCD imaging device is removed to provide spacing between the image pick-up portions relative to the vertical direction.
