SOLID-STATE IMAGE SENSOR WITH POSITIVE AND MIRROR IMAGE AND DRIVING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed are a solid state image pickup device and a driving method thereof capable of obtaining the same OBP signal in both normal image and mirror image output. To this end, in the present invention, a plurality of vertical transfer stages arranged in one direction on the semiconductor substrate, a first horizontal transfer stage disposed in the other direction so as to be connected to one end of the vertical transfer stages, and used as an output unit on a normal phase, A second horizontal transmission terminal disposed in the other direction to be connected to the other ends of the vertical transmission terminals, the second horizontal transmission terminal used as a mirror image output unit, and a first output unit connected to one end of the first horizontal transmission terminal and used as a normal phase output unit; And a second output part connected to one end of the second horizontal transmission end to be disposed in the same direction as the first output part and used as a mirror image output part.
