DRAPER PRIZE
THE 2006 Charles Stark Draper Prize has been awarded to WILLARD S. BOYLE and GEORGE E. SMITH for the invention of the charge-coupled device (CCD), a light-sensitive component at the heart of digital cameras and other widely used imaging technologies. When they drew up the basic design in 1969, Boyle, now 82, was executive director of Bell Labs' semiconductor division, and Smith, 75, worked for him. The Draper Prize is awarded annually, and the recipient receives a $500,000 cash award.
