Abstract
A method of reading signals from a plurality of charge-storage devices in a charge-storage line sensor circuit so as to cause a switching device respectively corresponding to the plurality of charge-storage devices to sequentially read the stored signals and to sequentially reset the storage devices during a line read period. Dead time intervals are provided in the line read period between successive device read periods. A resetting operation for each storage device is performed in a dead time interval after the read operation for that storage device is completed.
