Image sensors are built into every smartphone and every digital camera. They distinguish colors in a similar way to the human eye. In our retinas, individual cone cells recognize red, green and blue (RGB). In image sensors, individual pixels absorb the corresponding wavelengths and convert them into electrical signals. The vast majority of image sensors are made of silicon. This semiconductor material normally absorbs light over the entire visible spectrum.
