Nobel Prize for inventors of the Digital Sensor
Boyle Camera Club members might be interested to know that on Tuesday 6th October, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics to Willard S. Boyle and George E. Smith, inventors who worked with light. The two Americans developed the digital sensor that revolutionized photography. Boyle and Smith created the first successful Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) in 1969 while working at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey.
