CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) has to do with color separation and light sesitivity.

"Better color separation can be reached by three-CCD devices (3CCD) and a dichroic beam splitter prism, that splits the image into red, green and blue components. Each of the three CCDs is arranged to respond to a particular color."

"higher quantum efficiency (and therefore higher light sensitivity"

Wikipedia to the rescue again
