What is Difference between CCD & CMOS Sensor
Time:2014-11-09
CCD and CMOS image sensors are two different technologies for capturing images digitally. Both types of imagers convert light into electric charge and process it into electronic signals.
CCD Image Sensor
CCD is the abbreviation of Charge Coupled Device, is a device for the movement of electrical charge, usually from within the device to an area where the charge can be manipulated. To integrate with a sensor, such as a photoelectric device to produce the charge that is being read, thus making the CCD a major technology where the conversion of images into a digital signal is required.
CMOS Image Sensor
CMOS stands for Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor, also known as active-pixels sensors. CMOS sensor descends from the MOS activepixel image sensor which was invented in the 1960s. Contains integrated circuitry, arrays of pixel sensors.
