Abstract
A method of detecting electromagnetic radiation imparted onto a matrix of photosensitive photomos networks in which pixels of each photomos network are simultaneously exposed to electromagnetic radiation source for a predetermined period of time. Thereafter, transfer signals are applied to each photomos pixel and accumulated charges corresponding to the strength of the radiation imparted onto the pixels are transferred in a columnwise fashion to the end of each column of the photomos networks. The charges are summed at the end of the columns and placed in a reading register. The charges in the reading register of each photomos network are summed and a signal is output corresponding to the strength of the electromagnetic radiation imparted onto the photomos network.
