CCD sensor works by converting light into electrons. The CCD sensor helps a photographer to take prints with exceptional clarity and optimum light effects, even during night time or at locations where the light is not available in abundance. Boyle and Smith shared the other half of the prize for "the invention of an imaging semiconductor circuit -- the CCD sensor," or the charge-coupled device, which is the "electronic eye" of the digital camera. |
