The same technology that is used in the LCD televisions.
If you could how would this differ from the CCD?

I actually thought about doing something like that. Instead of the camera/telescope being built like a regular human eye, it would work more like a fly's eye. Right now, the only reason I can think of to do so is if you wanted to use a bunch of cheap sensors in parallel for super high resolution. It would be almost like that one radio "telescope" that's actually a bunch of radio telescopes working in parallel.

No. The resolution of a telescope is a direct function of the aperture of the telescope. A telescope with a microscopic mirror whould have terribly poor resolution. Basic physics!

High definition telescopes require a large lens or mirror to gather lots of light.

No. The only mirror in a microscope is the one for substage illumation; it is not a precision mirror. LCD televisions do not use precision mirrors.

Great idea, and I'll bet it's in the works. A paraboloid using nanotechnology!
