Abstract
An electronic camera in which a linear array (10), comprised of a row of light-sensitive devices, is mechanically moved in the image plane while being electronically scanned orthogonally to the direction of movement to capture the image. The array (10) is held in the image plane of a lens by a carriage (14) onto which the array is attached. One end of a flexible band (18) is connected to one end (20) of the carriage (14). The flexible band (18) is partially wrapped around a capstan (30) and a turnaround idler wheel (32). The other end of the flexible band (18) is connected to other end (24) of the carriage (14). A motor (34) drives the capstan (30) through a reduction gear to cause the flexible band (18) to move and thereby cause relative motion between the array and the lens.
