it has a shutter - it's simply electronic. The exposure is the time between the pixel reset and the readout. On the EPIC chip there is a full frame reset and a per row reset. On some scientific chips it's possible to reset an individual pixel immediately before reading it, it's even possible to read a pixel multiple times without resetting it so you can get multiple exposure times in the same pixel in the same frame!
