Optical sensors
System definition
Contact Image Sensor (CIS) = device that detects and converts light rays into electrical signals.
Most common type of sensor used in modern digital devices
What is it used for?
smartphones, tablets, cameras, etc.
Are they different types and technologies?
2 main types :
Charge-coupled device (CCD)
Active-pixel sensor (CMOS sensor) → cheaper, low electricity consumption
