I don't think the liteye thermal imager is a charge coupled device (CCD).
CCDs are constructed of closely placed metal oxide semicoductor (MOS) 
plates. The liteye knight-eye camera is constructed of amorphous silicon, 
its a Raytheon "amorphous silicon microbolometer" camera. I would guess 
that construction of optics and image capture are similar to a CCD camera, 
but I don't think liteye uses CCD.
