In order to make a boundary inconspicuous, which is located between an image area which displays an image by translucent pixels and a dummy area which always displays a white color by reflection pixels, a size ratio of transparent areas in color filters of the reflection pixels with respect to reflection areas therein is made larger than a size ratio of transparent areas in color filters of the translucent pixels with respect to reflection areas therein. In such a way, brightness of the display is balanced by adjusting quantities of transmission light through the transparent areas of the reflection pixels with respect to quantities of reflection light generated unexpectedly on transmission areas of the translucent pixels. Then, degrees of whiteness in the translucent pixels and the reflection pixels are approximated to each other.

A casing body of a junction box is made of a resin molded product. A vehicle body bracket engaging portion projects from an outer surface of the casing body. The engaging portion is engaged with a vehicle body bracket made of a metal material or other relatively high-strength that projects from a vehicle body. A coupling portion integrates the vehicle body bracket engaging portion with a second engaging portion that is shaped to engage with a separate member, such as a cover that attached to the casing body, thereby reinforcing the vehicle body bracket engaging portion.

There are provided a method for driving a solid-state image pickup apparatus, a solid-state image pickup device and a camera which enables fast operation and makes applicable of the conventional algorithm in signal processings by reducing the number of samples in the horizontal and vertical directions. Three or more odd number pixels in the solid-state image pickup device (1) are made one block, signal charges of predetermined pixels being thinned out to be transferred to transfer registers (4, 7), resulting signal charges being added within the transfer registers (4, 7) so that the center of gravity of pixels (pixel center) may coincide with a pixel at the center of one block and resulting mixed charge being transferred.Three transfer electrodes (CR1, CR2, CR3) are provided per one column of the vertical register (4) in a part of the vertical register on the side of horizontal register (7). These three transfer electrodes (CR1, CR2, CR3) are each formed from one layer of three different gate electrode layers. The vertical registers (4) arranged in a three-column cycle constitute the solid-state image pickup device.The camera is constructed to have a switching mode of operation between a mode in which mixed charges that result from adding signal charges in predetermined pixels of one block are output and a normal mode of taking a picture.
摘要:
Systems and methods allow driving a solid-state image pickup apparatus at high-speed operation by reducing a number of different samples in the horizontal and vertical directions. In an exemplary embodiment, three or more odd-numbered pixels are incorporated into a single block and signal charges from same color outputs are added within transfer registers such that an average center of the pixels coincides with a pixel at a center of the block. Three transfer electrodes are preferably provided for a column of a vertical transfer register in a part of the vertical transfer register on a side of the horizontal transfer register. The three transfer electrodes may be formed from one layer of three different gate electrode layers. The vertical registers may be arranged in a three column cycle. Preferably, an imaging device employing this structure has a switching mode of operation between a mode in which mixed charges that result from adding signal charges of predetermined pixels from one block are output and a normal mode for outputting all pixel information.
