A B S T R A C TA new contact type image sensor is proposed, which, although adopting simple fabrication technology, attains performance comparable to CCD image sensors. lnline arrangement of eight sensor chips realizes reading length of 216 mm by resolution of 8 pixels/". Deviation of DC offset of voltage pickup circuits provided at each pixel, which is an inherent problem in this type of sensor, is corrected by a simple clamping circuit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
