Title:
IMAGE SENSOR
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2006343229
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide an image sensor that is useful for size reduction and cost reduction of a system, and simplification of image processing between two optical images, in an optical sensor system that images two wave regions which are a wavelength region, ranging from visible light to near-infrared light and a wavelength region from intermediate-infrared light to far-infrared light.

The image sensor includes two-dimensional arrays, in which quantum type visible light detectors and thermal infrared light detectors cyclically aligned on a substrate, signal lines arranged for each column along the visible light detectors and the thermal infrared light detectors that are aligned in the column direction, and a drive lines arranged for each row along the visible light detectors and the thermal infrared light detectors that are aligned in the row direction.
