Solid-state imaging

Solid-state imaging refers to a technology used in cameras and sensors to capture images. It relies on semiconductor materials that convert light into electrical signals. The most common solid-state imaging devices are charge-coupled devices (CCDs) and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductors (CMOS). Unlike traditional film, these sensors process light electronically, allowing for high-quality images in various devices like smartphones, digital cameras, and surveillance systems. Solid-state imaging is known for its speed, efficiency, and durability, making it essential in modern photography and video recording.
