This process repeats until all rows are transferred off chip. The image is then reconstructed as dictated by the system. Leveraging ITO, an advanced technology to replace the polysilicon sensor in digital cameras, has resulted in a significantly enhanced blue channel. This is a result of the ITO sensor's ability to be more transmissive than the polysilicon sensors of the past. The key benefit of the ITO sensor is its ability to increase the spectral response from the camera, allowing two and one half times more blue light to reach the sensor, therefore, improving the color accuracy and reducing image noise.
Mechanical shutter opens, exposing the CCD sensor to light.
The shutter closes, blocking the light. The charge is transferred to the CCD output and converted to a signal. The signal is digitized, and the digital data is captured in memory. The captured image is processed and displayed on the camera LCD or computer. Charge transfer, which moves the packets of charge within the silicon substrate.
