DEFINITION

Classification: 257/229

Having structure to improve output signal (e.g., exposure control structure):

(under subclass 225) Subject matter wherein the non-electrical input responsive device contains structural means to improve the electrical signal it generates in response to the non-electrical input signal.

(1) Note. The structural means to improve the output signal may control the amount of charge generated by light incident on the device which is transferred as output signal charge.
