In 1969, they patented the charge-coupled device, or CCD. Initially intended to be a memory chip, they realized that it didn't store information as intended. What it did do was convert light into ...

In the case of the vidicon, this was the invention of first the charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor, and later the CMOS image sensor. These eliminated the need for the cathode ray tube, using ...

AbstractCharge-coupled devices (CCDs) have been the most common visible and nearultraviolet imaging sensors in astronomy since the 1980s. Almost all major astronomical instrumentation utilizes CCD ...

Charge-coupled-device cameras are a vital component of many applications involving digital imaging. Neil Savage presents a summary of some of the latest products. Cameras based on charge-coupled ...

Transport phenomena in semiconductors, theory of the p-n junction, bipolar and unipolar devices, general analysis of the metal-semiconductor and MIS structures, CCD, MOSFET and bipolar transistors.

The VC365-DSP CCD device has over 379,000 pixels (NTSC; PAL has over 437,000). This provides a sharp color image with accurate color rendition provided by an automatic through-the-lens (TTL) color ...

Spectronic devices offers a wide range of spectrometers from miniature fibre optic input devices to laboratory systems. Also line cameras including Cooled Back illuminated CCD, Cooled InGaAs, Silicon ...
