Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A detector in which each pixel has its own amplifier is known as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) sensor. While both CCDs (Charge-coupled devices) and CMOS sensors have individual pixels, only CMOS sensors have their own amplifier, making them better suited for certain types of applications such as high-speed imaging and low-light conditions. Field-effect transistors and thin-field transistors are not typically used in imaging detectors.
