KnowraCharge-coupled deviceLinked fromLinked fromThe 28 pages that link to Charge-coupled device, each with the reason it gives.All 28Broader topic 9Related 17Compared with 2Bell LabsBroader topic: Willard Boyle and George Smith invented it at Bell Labs, enabling digital imaging.Image sensorBroader topic: Its serial charge transfer is one of the two defining ways an image sensor reads pixels.PhotodetectorBroader topic: It detects light across an image and moves the resulting pixel charges for readout.Electron–hole pairBroader topic: Each absorbed photon can generate a pair whose electron contributes to a pixel’s signal.Quantum efficiencyBroader topic: Its wavelength-dependent efficiency affects sensitivity in astronomical and scientific imaging.Dark currentBroader topic: Charge accumulates during exposure, making its dark signal especially relevant for long integrations.X-ray detectorBroader topic: CCD-based X-ray systems collect photon-generated charge and read it as a digital image.George E. SmithBroader topic: Smith and Willard Boyle invented this device at Bell Labs in 1969.Willard BoyleBroader topic: This is the device Boyle co-invented with Smith and the basis of his Nobel recognition.
