If you spend a lot of time reading about cameras, you’re probably familiar with the terms CMOS sensor and CCD sensor, as they describe the two most popular digital camera sensor types. You probably ...

Many of the characteristics that engineers look for in machine-vision cameras are determined by the image sensor at the heart of that camera. High-quality images, high resolution, high frame rates, ...

Never heard of the names Willard S Boyle and George E Smith before? Well, remember them now — thanks to their invention, you're able to use a digital camera today. Lexy was a producer and on-air ...

Toshiba’s TCD2728DG CCD linear image sensor uses lens reduction to cut random noise, enhancing image quality in semiconductor inspection equipment and A3 multifunction printers. As a lens-reduction ...

ON Semiconductor has released its highest resolution Interline Transfer CCD image sensor, which provides high resolution without sacrificing image uniformity and global shutter architecture, the ...

(Charge-Coupled Device sensor) An electronic memory that records the intensity of light as a variable charge. Although mostly replaced by CMOS sensors to capture images in cameras, camcorders and ...

Fairchild Imaging CCD sensors capture digital images of Saturn’s moon Titan. These ultra sensitive Charge Coupled Device (CCD) image sensors are the “eyes” of several instruments on the NASA/ESA/ASI ...

PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ON), driving energy efficient innovations, is enhancing imaging performance in demanding industrial applications with technology that improves the ...

When snapping digital photos with our cameras and phones, it’s easy to forget what’s actually happening inside to get the light from your subject into the camera, and then up on its way to Instagram.

Technology co-invented by 2009 Nobel laureate George E. Smith, SM'56, PhD'59, has profoundly changed consumer electronics and transformed the way astronomers at his alma mater observe the heavens.

A giant CCD sensor, in fact the largest ever deployed on a telescope, has captured its first images. The sensor, which is mounted on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) in Mauna Kea, Hawaii, ...
