Technical Documents

Our memories fade with the passage of time, but we can preserve them in the form of photographs. The semiconductor we will discuss today is what helps make our memories last a lifetime. We refer to it as an image sensor. By storing and transmitting image signals, it allows images to be viewed on display devices.
