This paper proposes a two‐dimensional photosensor composed of an a‐Si pin junction. The photosensor is constructed on the glass substrate. The pixel of the sensor is of a simple structure composed of two photodiodes connected in opposite directions between the vertical and the horizontal signal lines. The photodiode constructed by a‐Si pin junction has the function of the blocking diode, preventing the crosstalk in reading out the signal, in addition to the photoelectric conversion. The sensor is of the sandwich type composed of an a‐Si pin junction, and achieves the store‐and‐read operation with a high speed. A large reset noise is superposed on the input signal in the proposed sensor, but is eliminated by the differential amplifier with the double reading drive, leaving only the light signal. A two‐dimensional 5 × 5 photosensor was constructed experimentally, and the basic operation was verified. The photoelectric conversion characteristics are that the output signal is proportional to the input light with the sensitivity of 50 mV/lux·S and S/N of 12 dB.
