    摘要: A non-linear conversion capability within an on-chip, per-column analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is provided to expand a compressed analog signal such that the resulting digital output that has a predetermined (linear or non-linear) mapping with respect to input brightness level of an incoming light signal to a row of pixels. The predetermined mapping may also be provided by a non-linear amplifier coupled to a linear or non-linear ADC and a resulting compressed non-linear digital representation at the output of the ADC is substantially linearized by an on-chip or an off-chip look-up table (LUT).

    摘要: A high resolution radiation sensitive imager includes a radiation sensitive photoconductive target for forming an image in response to incident radiation, a light sensitive cathode arranged in spaced apart relationship with the target, and an addressable light source coupled to the photocathode for causing the photocathode to emit electrons at localized sites for reading an image on the target.
