One or more output amplifiers at the edge of the chip collect the signals from the CCD. An electronic image can be obtained by—after having exposed the sensor with a light pattern—applying a series of ...

Super CCD uses a honeycomb structure of octagon-shaped light sensors (photodiodes) at 45 degree angles rather than 90 degrees. Introduced in 2000 with its FinePix camera line, the diagonal design ...

The rise and fall of the CCD sensor mirrored a paradigm shift in our lives as we sought new, pocket-sized technologies that ...
