photosensitive picture cell at each line of the solid state color image sensor it becomes possible to read image signals not only in the field integration mode but also in the frame integration mode moreover each horizontal scan of picture cells can produce two different color difference signals mg 2 mg cy 2 ye 2 g 2 and mg 2 mg ye 2 cy 2 g 2 where g ye cy and also a constant value mg ye cy can always be obtained as a luminance signal thus the vertical resolution of color signals can be obtained which is two times as high as the conventional solid state color image sensor such high resolution is particularly suitable for those solid state image sensors of electronic still cameras which require a high vertical color signal resolution further since complementary type color filters are used a high sensitivity can be maintained also use of cy ye and mg three colors enables a good color reproductivity in the line sequential color difference signal method the stripe filter with a half of the picture cell width can be formed within the area of the picture cell without failure so that a slight displacement of patterns hardly causes a change in ratio of areas occupied by two different filters and hence a change in spectrum transmittance thus achieving a stable characteristic fig8 a to 8e are cross sectional views each showing a different process of an embodiment of a manufacturing method of the solid state color image sensor each cross section showing the.
