Abstract

The performance of a thin-film transistor (TFT) driven linear image sensor is analyzed. By experiment and computer simulation the charge trans-fer is investigated and the results are applied to interprete the performance of the conventional readout circuit. Its main disadvantage are the large number of crossovers between signal lines. Therefore, an alternative readout circuit with reduced number of crossovers is proposed.
