This archive of personal papers, photographs, and CMOS optical sensor arrays covers the career of Peter Noble, inventor of the active pixel, which laid the groundwork for the image sensors used today in mobile phones. Noble’s work bridges the gap between analogue and digital photography. It also extends to the field of broadcast television. The archive roughly spans the years 1968-1981.
