Abstract

An image pick-up apparatus which has an image pick-up part, a color separating filter arranged in front of the image pick-up part, a driver, a storage part and a read out part. The image pick-up part includes a plurality of horizontal line sensors. The filter has a color repetitive pattern, having a predetermined period in the horizontal direction. The driver has a plurality of states, the successive assumption of which horizontally transfers information in each line sensor at a predetermined interval. The driver is structured and arranged to operate soo that such transfer is stopped intermittently during the transfer interval. The storage part temporarily stores information transferred horizontally from each line sensor, and the read out part sequentially reads out the information in the storage part, line by line.
