CCD sensors have largely gone the way of the dodo, but the latest retro-inspired compact camera from Chuzhao is bringing back the "magic" sensor to give it an edge in shooting film-like images.

At the start of the century, it was unthinkable that people would walk around with a pocket-sized camera. But today, we take the ubiquity of photographic equipment for granted. Smartphone cameras have ...

A lot of words have been written and exchanged about the difference between — and possible advantages or disadvantages of — CCD (charged-couple device) and CMOS (metal oxide semiconductor + ...

Way back in 2008, Canon — the stalwart Japanese camera brand — released its EOS 5D Mark II model, which heralded a new era of digital photography. It was one of the first DSLR (which stands for ...

In all technical fields, digital imaging has won whatever was left of the film vs. digital debate— artistic qualities aside. Contemporary digital sensors are simply more precise, detailed, and ...

The S11156-2048-02 is back-thinned CCD linear image sensors with an internal electronic shutter for spectrometers. This image sensor uses a resistive gate structure that allows high-speed transfer.

As a manufacturer of both Charge-Coupled Devices (CCD) and CMOS image sensors, why do we have two different approaches for image sensing? CCD technology was designed for imaging, and is the base ...

TCD2400DG offers a 22.7 kHz line rate, 4096×3 RGB elements and integrates the timing generator and CCD driver to reduce wiring and EMI. Image inspection equipment that integrates line scan cameras, ...

Dr. George Elwood Smith, one of the co-inventors of the CCD image sensor who played a pivotal role in the development of digital photography, passed away last week at his home in New Jersey. He was 95 ...

1/3 inch CCD Image Sensors are electronic devices designed to convert light patterns into electronic images. They achieve this by transforming the light into an electric charge pattern, which is then ...

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 ...

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. The pair in 1974 (Credit: ...
