Abstract

See full text

A photosensitive device includes a plurality of active photosensors, for receiving light from an original image, and at least one dark photosensor. The dark photosensor is shielded with a light shield so that it receives no light, and is used to establish a dark offset for the device. Each active photosensor and the dark photosensor have associated therewith an individual transfer circuit, including a reset node having a capacitance associated therewith. The capacitance of the reset node for the dark photosensor is selected to compensate for the extra capacitance created by the light shield.
