At the heart of today’s digital imaging devices are charge-coupled devices (CCD). A type of semiconductor that’s sensitive to light, a CCD consists of a 2-D array of individual elements, each ...

A CCD is an array of capacitors, which store electric charge. Computer software reads out the charge of each, which corresponds to how much light fell on each.

Discover how the charge-coupled device (CCD) revolutionized imaging technology, impacting photography, astronomy, medicine, and more.

In CCD devices, an array of millions of light-sensitive picture elements, or pixels, spans the surface of the sensor. After exposure to light, the accumulated charge over the entire CCD pixel array is ...

The sensor area matches the existing 2/3″ optical format that’s common with video cameras so the new CCD array will work with existing video-camera lenses and the sensor array’s packaging is the same ...
