Reference numeral 4 denotes a transfer CCD column provided vertically at the left end of each CCD column 1, 1, . . .
The transfer electrodes 5, 5, etc. connected to the terminals 2 and 2 are connected to each other, and a diffusion region 6 is provided at the end of each of the transfer electrodes 5, 5. It is taken out completely.

By the way, for the purpose of use in imaging devices such as televisions, high resolution and clear screens are required, so the number of light detection CCD arrays 1, 1, etc. that perform light detection is 250. The chip size of such a large-scale array CCD image sensor is large, with each side exceeding 1Q mm even with the current fine pattern technology.

即ち1cm平方以上の面に画像を結像する必要がある。That is, it is necessary to form an image on a surface of 1 cm square or more.

ところが通常のレンズを用いて1cm平方以上の面に画
像を結像させると、第2図に示すように周辺部で像がぼ
やける。
However, when an ordinary lens is used to form an image on a surface of 1 cm square or more, the image becomes blurred at the periphery, as shown in FIG.

これは第2図で物体AをレンズBでCCDCC撮像素子
結像させようとするとレンズの主軸付近では正しく像を

ンズのコマ収差とよばれる現象によってCCD面上では
なくb点で結像し、それゆえ、CCD面上ではaの像は
Cの如くぼやけた像になってしまうがらである。
This is because in Figure 2, when object A is imaged on the CCDC image sensor using lens B, the image is correctly formed near the principal axis of the lens, but as it moves away from the principal axis, the image at point a of object A is due to the coma aberration of the lens. Due to a phenomenon called point b, the image is formed not on the CCD surface but at point b, and therefore the image at point a becomes a blurred image like point C on the CCD surface.

したがってこのような方法でえられた画像は周辺部と中
央部とで画像の分解度、鮮明度がことなりみにくいもの

Therefore, the image obtained by this method has different resolution and sharpness between the peripheral part and the central part, making it difficult to see.

本考案はこのような問題点を解決する事を目的として為
されたものであって第3図にその詳細が示されている。
The present invention was devised to solve these problems, and its details are shown in FIG.

この第3図の図番は第1図のそれと全て対応している。All the figure numbers in FIG. 3 correspond to those in FIG. 1.

第1図と異るところは、各光検出CCD列1,1・・・

ところにある。
The difference from FIG. 1 is that each photodetection CCD array 1, 1...
The electrode widths X and electrode lengths y of the photodetecting electrodes 2, 2, . . . are set wider at the periphery than at the center.

即ち各CCD列1゜1・・・・・・の中央部に於ては光
検出電極2,2・・・・・・の長さyは両端部のそれy
′に比して短く、また中央部に位置するCCD列1,1
・・・・・・の検出電極2,2・・・・・・の巾Xは両
端部のそれX′より狭く設定されている。
That is, at the center of each CCD row 1゜1..., the length y of the photodetecting electrodes 2, 2... is equal to that at both ends.
' CCD rows 1, 1, which are shorter than 1 and located in the center.
The width X of the detection electrodes 2, 2, . . . is set narrower than that at both ends X'.

その結果、CCD列の周辺部に於ける画像のぼやけは周
辺部の光検出部の面積が大きく設定されているので、打

As a result, the blurring of the image at the periphery of the CCD array is canceled out because the area of the light detection section at the periphery is set to be large.

Therefore, when the CCD imaging device according to the present invention is used in a television camera, it is possible to improve the unevenness in image quality between the center and periphery of the image due to the coma aberration of the lens even if a relatively simple lens system is used.
