Description
本实用新型涉及接触图像传感器组件,特别是涉及彩色接触图像传感器组件。The utility model relates to a contact image sensor assembly, in particular to a color contact image sensor assembly.
图像传感器目前正被普遍地同光学扫描仪、传真机以及用于处理输入图像信号的其他图像处理装置一起使用。存在两种类型的传感器。一种是公知的电荷耦合器件(CCD)。图1表示出一个标准的黑白CCD。该CCD包括三个主要部件,一个用于照亮文件的光源;一个用于把文件的图像聚焦在图像传感器上的透镜,和图像传感器。由于被用于扫描文件的CCD大约一英寸长,而要求该透镜能够成像标准的8.5英寸纸宽。透镜的使用还需要在传感器与文件之间有大约30cm的间距,因此这导致大体积的装置,而经常要使用复杂的光路系统来减小该装置的尺寸。另外,由于整个装置需要扫描纸的全长,就需要大功率的步进电动机来使该装置移动。但是,电动机不平滑的运动会使图像变形。Image sensors are currently being commonly used with optical scanners, facsimile machines, and other image processing devices for processing incoming image signals. There are two types of sensors. One is known as a Charge Coupled Device (CCD). Figure 1 shows a standard black and white CCD. The CCD consists of three main components, a light source for illuminating the document; a lens for focusing the image of the document on the image sensor, and the image sensor. Since the CCD used to scan documents is about an inch long, the lens is required to image a standard 8.5-inch paper width. The use of lenses also requires a distance of about 30 cm between the sensor and the document, thus resulting in a bulky device that is often reduced in size using complex optical systems. In addition, since the entire device needs to scan the entire length of the paper, a high-power stepping motor is required to move the device. However, the jerky motion of the motor distorts the image.
第二种类型的传感器,公知的接触图像传感器(CIS),已被开发出来以克服CCD的某些缺陷。图2表示出标准的黑白CIS组件。A4尺寸的CIS组件大小仅是约18×18×224mm,并且具有下列所有的必要的部件以捕捉图像:(1)混合式图像传感器板,包括直线硅接触图像传感器阵列、运算放大器和无源部件;(2)IED光源;(3)一对一透镜;(4)覆盖玻璃;以及(5)容纳这些部件的铝壳。由于CIS组件的长度是与被扫描的文件成一对一的关系,则从被扫描的文件到图像传感器之间的距离已经减至约2cm而且不需要透镜缩小系统。因而,CIS组件在尺寸上更小,容易使用,并能在低噪声、高动态范围和高分辨(与CCD相比)下以高速工作。A second type of sensor, known as a Contact Image Sensor (CIS), has been developed to overcome some of the drawbacks of CCDs. Figure 2 shows a standard black and white CIS assembly. The A4 size CIS assembly measures only about 18 x 18 x 224mm and has all of the following necessary components to capture an image: (1) Hybrid image sensor board including linear silicon contact image sensor array, operational amplifiers and passive components ; (2) IED light source; (3) one-to-one lens; (4) cover glass; and (5) aluminum housing to accommodate these components. Since the length of the CIS assembly is one-to-one with the scanned document, the distance from the scanned document to the image sensor has been reduced to about 2 cm and no lens reduction system is required. Thus, CIS components are smaller in size, easy to use, and can operate at high speed with low noise, high dynamic range, and high resolution (compared to CCD).
在过去,CCD和接触图像传感器已经被用于提供黑白图像传感器。而CCD在最近已被用于提供彩色图像传感器。但是彩色CCD存在上述的及其他的缺陷。首先,彩色CCD需要过多的部件,例如透镜和分离的光源,以及附加的缓冲器。其次,由CCD不是由一个单一的组件提供而是由几个部件组成,就必须对各个部件进行调整。这种调整是困难的并还会包含非标准的处理方法。第三,标准CMOS处理不能被用于晶片,则由晶片生产厂进行处理方法的综合也是困难的。In the past, CCDs and contact image sensors have been used to provide black and white image sensors. CCDs have recently been used to provide color image sensors. But there are above-mentioned and other defectives in color CCD. First, color CCDs require a plethora of components, such as lenses and separate light sources, and additional buffers. Second, since the CCD is not provided by a single component but consists of several parts, adjustments to the individual parts are necessary. Such adjustments are difficult and may involve non-standard handling. Third, standard CMOS processing cannot be used for wafers, and synthesis of processing methods by wafer fabs is also difficult.
这样,就存在对彩色接触图像传感器的需要,本实用新型的目的在于提供一种具有简单和紧凑的结构,使用很小的外部存储器,能廉价地制造,并且产生高质量的彩色图像的彩色接触图像传感器组件。。Thus, there is a need for a color contact image sensor, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide a color contact sensor that has a simple and compact structure, uses a small external memory, can be manufactured cheaply, and produces high-quality color images.

The spacing between the three phototransistor arrays is small.
根据本实用新型第一实施例的彩色接触图像传感器组件具有一个并行输出电路。该并行输出电路具有多个电容器,电容器的数量对应于光电晶体管阵列的数量,每个电容器用于对应于一种彩色的信号而感应出电压。并行输出电路进一步包括多个放大器,放大器的数量对应于光电晶体管阵列的数量,每个放大器连接到一个电容器上,用于放大跨接在相应电容器上的所感应的电压。该并行输出电路还包括多个复位门,每个复位门连接到一个电容器上以在对应的电容器上使电压复位。The color contact image sensor module according to the first embodiment of the present invention has a parallel output circuit.

图6和7表示彩色图像传感器28。每个彩色接触图像传感器28具有三个光电晶体管阵列40、42和44。每个光电晶体管阵列40、42或44分别由一列光电晶体管41、43和45构成。尽管本实用新型使用光电晶体管,但也可以使光敏二极管,这并不背离本实用新型的范围。在每个光电晶体管阵列的表面上设有一个彩色膜片。每个阵列40、42和44具有不同彩色的彩色膜片。根据本实用新型优选的彩色组合是绿、蓝和红。在该实施例中,阵列40、42或44中的一个设有绿色膜片,另一个设有蓝色膜片,阵列40、42或44中的第三个设有红色膜片。三种彩色绿蓝或红均能以其他次序设在三个阵列40、42和44上,而并不背离本实用新型的精神和范围,只要各个阵列40、42或44具有不同彩色的膜片。6 and 7 illustrate the color image sensor 28 . Each color contact image sensor 28 has three
虽然下面是结合绿-蓝-红彩色膜片来说明的本实用新型的彩色接触图像传感器,但本领域技术人员自然明白可以使用其他的三色组配,例如花青-品红-黄也并不背离本实用新型的精神和范围。Although the following is the color contact image sensor of the present invention described in conjunction with the green-blue-red color diaphragm, those skilled in the art will naturally understand that other three-color combinations can be used, such as cyanine-magenta-yellow. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model.
每个光电晶体管传感器阵列40、42和44分别由传输门47、49和51的相应并行阵列46、48和50控制。每个传输门47、49和51由NMOS开关制成。在操作过程中,每个传输门,例如阵列46中的门47,借助导通或关断来控制相应的光电晶体管,例如阵列40中的光电晶体管41,以使电流从光电晶体和41通过门47泄漏。该电流代表从文件36读出的像素信号。其他的传输门按同样方式控制对应的光电晶体管。Each
一列移位寄存器52被连到传输门47、49和51的三个阵列46、48和50上以控制传输门47、49和51的通/断工作。在操作过程中,该列移位寄存器52接通门47、49和51的第一列,以使第一像素图像从第一列光电晶体管41、43和45通过而到达图8或9所示的信号输出电路。该列移位寄存器52然后关断门47、49和51的第一列,接着接通门47、49和51的第二列,如此进行下去直到每个阵列46、48和50中的门47、49和51的所有列都已接通和关断以从文件扫描出图像的一行为止。A column of
一个信号输入缓冲器54接收外部的START信号SI,并把其传送给该列移位寄存器52、伪移位寄存器56和逻辑控制电路58。一时钟缓冲器55接收外部时钟信号CLK,并驱动该列移位寄存器52、伪移位寄存器56和逻辑控制电路58。A
逻辑控制电路58、时钟缓冲器55和信号输入缓冲器54一起给彩色接触图像传感器芯片28提供所需的定时,并用于控制绿、蓝和红信号的输出。
根据本实用新型的彩色接触图像传感器28进一步设有一个用于产生伪信号的伪信号电路。该伪信号被传送给门47、49和51的三个阵列46、48和50,以补偿在第一像素信号中的电势误差。The color contact image sensor 28 according to the present invention is further provided with a dummy signal circuit for generating a dummy signal. This dummy signal is sent to the three
下面结合图10的时序图来说明该伪信号的基础。为了接通门47、49和51,该门通常检测在前的门的关闭即关断。例如,通过检测第一门G1(用于第一像素信号)的关断来触发每个阵列46、48和50中的第二门G2(用于第二像素信号)。但是,每个阵列46、48和50中的第一门G1没有一个在前的“关断”信号供检测,而使通过每个阵列46、48和50的第一门G1的电流是不合理的。这样,就要提供一个伪信号DGL以使第一门G1能检测“关断”信号以使其自己导通。The basis of the spurious signal will be described below with reference to the timing diagram of FIG. 10 . In order to switch on the doors 47 , 49 and 51 , they usually detect the closure of the preceding door, ie shut off. For example, the second gate G2 (for the second pixel signal) in each
伪信号电路包括伪移位寄存器56和三个虚拟传输门62、64和66。每个虚拟传输门62、64和66由NMOS开关构成,其每个分别连接到三个阵列46、48和50的对应的一个上。由控制虚拟传输门62、64和66的伪移位寄存器56产生的伪信号在接通阵列46、48和50的第一门G1之前产生伪信号DGL。The dummy signal circuit includes a
一个输出控制电路57被连到传输门47、49和51的三个阵列46、48和50的输出信号端,并被由逻辑控制电路58产生的片选信号CS和复位信号RS所控制,以发出具有红DSR、蓝DSB和绿DSG成份的彩色信号。An
三个光电晶体管阵列40、42和44之间的距离最好较小。作为非限制性例子,对于400DPI光电晶体管传感器,阵列40、42和44之间的距离或间隔是约63.5微米;对于300DPI光电晶体管传感器,阵列40、42和44之间的距离是84.6微米:对于200DPI光电晶体管传感器,阵列40、42和44之间的距离是127微米。由于阵列40、42和44之间的小距离,根据本实用新型的彩色接触图像传感器就需要比彩色CCD还少的外部存储器,这样用于本实用新型的彩色接触图像传感器的外部存储器的成本小于彩色CCD的。The distance between the three
另外,由于每个阵列40、42和46具有一个不同彩色的彩色膜片,则可以使用标准白光作为光源30。因而,本实用新型的彩色接触图像传感器可以像黑白接触图像传感器一样工作,而不需要提供附加的滤色装置。Additionally, since each
使用单列移位寄存器52来控制传输门47、49和51的三个阵列46、48和50的通/断开关具有两个对彩色接触图像传感器的高速工作来说很重要的好处:第一,紧凑的布置节省了芯片上的空间。第二,绿、蓝和红信号的输出可被同步以易于信号的外部模-数取样。The use of a single
图6和7所示的彩色接触图像传感器28可以作为一个单独的独立接触图像传感器芯片,例如图8和9中所示的芯片28a、28b和28c。虽然在图8和9中仅表示出了三个这样的彩色接触图像传感器芯片28,但本领域技术人员很清楚:该列彩色接触图像传感器芯片28包括三个以上的芯片,如下述那样,这些芯片串联或并联地被连接在PCB板上以发送一个彩色图像。例如,对于用于A4纸宽度具有219微米的400dpi CIS组,需要3456个像素以建立一个接触图像传感器组件,则每个芯片28具有128个像素,因而在PCB板26上设置27个彩色接触图像传感器芯片28。The color contact image sensor 28 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 can be implemented as a single independent contact image sensor chip, such as the
图8表示出具有该列彩色接触图像传感器芯片28的并联布置的PC板26。彩色接触图像传感器芯片28被连接到一个并行输出电路60上。该并行输出电路60具有三个并联放大器,第一放大器62、第二放大器64和第三放大器66。放大器62具有通过电阻器70a连到第一彩色信号输出端(红、蓝或绿中的一个)上的“+”输入端;放大器64具有通过电阻器70b连接到第二彩色信号输出端(红、蓝或绿中的一个)上的其“+”输入端;放大器66具有通过电阻器70c连接到第三彩色信号输出端(红、蓝或绿中的一个)上的“+”输入端。放大器62、64和68的“-”输入端分别通过电阻器68a、68b、68c接地。每个放大器62、64和66具有一个反馈电路,其中放大器62、64或66的输出端分别通过电阻器69a、69b和69c而连接到其“-”输入端上,以设置相应放大器62、64和66的网络增益。FIG. 8 shows a PC board 26 with the columns of color contact image sensor chips 28 arranged in parallel. The color contact image sensor chip 28 is connected to a
