IMAGE SENSOR WITH INTEGRATION TIME COMPENSATION
First Claim
1. A photosensor chip comprising:
- a first set of photosensors comprising an edge pixel and an interior pixel; and
,a control portion for accepting a first external integration signal, said first external integration signal causing an edge pixel integration signal and an interior pixel integration signal for said first set of photosensors, said control portion comprising;
a first signal adjuster effectively altering said first external integration signal to cause said edge pixel integration signal and said interior pixel integration signal for said first set of photosensors.

Abstract
A photosensitive apparatus including a plurality of photosensor chips and a first common line for applying a first external integration signal to each of the plurality of photosensor chips. Each photosensor chip includes a first set of photosensors having an edge pixel and an interior pixel and a control portion for accepting the first external integration signal, the first external integration signal causing an edge pixel integration signal and an interior pixel integration signal for the first set of photosensors. The control portion includes a first signal adjuster effectively altering the first external integration signal to cause the edge pixel integration signal and the interior pixel integration signal for the first set of photosensors.
