DEFINITION

Classification: 348/311

Charge-coupled architecture:

(under subclass 294) Subject matter wherein the image sensor is of the type which comprises an array of photosensitive shift registers, photoelectric charges therefrom being shifted out in a predetermined order to produce an image signal.
