Smith invented the charge-coupled device (CCD), for which they have jointly received the Franklin Institute's Stuart Ballantine Medal in 1973, the 1974 IEEE Morris N. Liebmann Memorial Award, the 2006 Charles Stark Draper Prize, and the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics.[8][9] The CCD allowed NASA to send clear pictures to Earth back from space.[21] It is also the technology that powers many digital cameras today. Smith said of their invention: "After making the first couple of imaging devices, we knew for certain that chemistry photography was dead." [10] Eugene Gordon and Mike Tompsett, two now-retired colleagues from Bell labs, claim that its application to photography was not invented by Boyle.[11] Boyle was Executive Director of Research for Bell Labs from 1975 until his retirement in 1979.[21] Personal LifeIn retirement he split his time between Halifax and Wallace, Nova Scotia.[12] In Wallace, he helped launch an art gallery with his wife Betty, a landscape artist.[7] He was married to Betty since 1946 and had four children, 10 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.[5] In his later years, Boyle suffered from kidney disease, and due to complications from this disease, died in a hospital in Nova Scotia on May 7, 2011.[13] Notes1. ^{{cite news | title = Willard Boyle | url = https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/science-obituaries/8517452/Willard-Boyle.html | newspaper = The Telegraph | location = London | date = 2011-05-16 | accessdate = 2012-07-11 | archiveurl = https://www.webcitation.org/696vQGdIQ?url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/science-obituaries/8517452/Willard-Boyle.html | archivedate = 2012-07-12 | deadurl = yes | df = }} {{commons category|Willard Boyle}}{{wikiquote}}{{wikinews|Controversy raised about 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics}}{{Nobel Prize in Physics Laureates 2001-2025}}{{2009 Nobel Prize Winners}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Boyle, Willard}}2. ^1 {{cite web|title=Willard S.
