I think this is "Charge-Coupled Device"?
"an electronic sensor that converts light to digital signals through charges generated by bouncing photons on a thin silicon wafer"
Is that correct? Not familiar with the acronym.

This is a picture of the CCD array for the Gaia space observatory that used parallax to measure precise distances and slightly less precise angular velocities of billions of objects
