Japanese term or phrase: 画素受光部

this is some kind of receptor that receives light to form an image in a digital camera, but I couldn't find a technical term for it.
Any suggestions?

"pixel sensor": http://www.anfoworld.com/Recordings.html

"1990年中頃に開発されたCMOS素子は、各画素に増幅器が内蔵されていて画素毎のノイズをキャンセルして情報分を有効に取り出す工夫がなされていました｡これを1990年以前のCMOSと区別して、APS（Active Pixel Sensor）と呼びます｡これは先に説明した右上の図の青色点線のない構造です｡APSでは、各画素にリセットスイッチと増幅素子が内蔵されています｡ APS以前の素子をAPSの対語としてPPS（Passive Pixel Sensor）と呼んでいます｡ "

Notes to answerer

Asker: I like the word 'sensor' in this translation, but the website you gave was confusing because in this website itself it defines 画素 once as 'pixel' and once as 'unit cell'. I would prefer to use one of these words. . . ? like 'unit cell sensor' or 'pixel sensor'. Thank you.

Asker: Thank you. I like the 'pixel' word, but after having read LavanyaRaj's answer and website reference in japanese, I wonder if it should be 'unit cell'?
