Abstract
An imaging device of the present disclosure includes: a plurality of pixels arranged side by side in a first direction and a second direction and each including a light receiving element; and a drive section configured to drive the plurality of pixels. Of the plurality of pixels, ones arranged side by side in the first direction have respective light receiving sensitivities equal to each other. Of the plurality of pixels, ones arranged side by side in the second direction include a first pixel and a second pixel each having a light receiving sensitivity, the light receiving sensitivity of the first pixel and the light receiving sensitivity of the second pixel being different from each other.
Claims13
An imaging device, comprising:
- a plurality of pixels arranged side by side in a first direction and a second direction and each including a light receiving element;
- and
- a drive section configured to drive the plurality of pixels, wherein
- of the plurality of pixels, ones arranged side by side in the first direction have respective light receiving sensitivities equal to each other, and
- of the plurality of pixels, ones arranged side by side in the second direction include a first pixel and a second pixel each having a light receiving sensitivity, the light receiving sensitivity of the first pixel and the light receiving sensitivity of the second pixel being different from each other.
A spectrum analysis apparatus comprising:
- a spectroscope;
- a plurality of pixels disposed to allow light outputted by the spectroscope to enter, the plurality of pixels being arranged side by side in a first direction and a second direction and each including a light receiving element;
- and
- a drive section configured to drive the plurality of pixels, wherein
- pieces of light outputted by the spectroscope and having wavelengths different from each other are configured to enter ones of the plurality of pixels arranged side by side in the first direction,
- pieces of light outputted by the spectroscope and having wavelengths equal to each other are configured to enter ones of the plurality of pixels arranged side by side in the second direction,
- of the plurality of pixels, the ones arranged side by side in the first direction have respective light receiving sensitivities equal to each other, and
- of the plurality of pixels, the ones arranged side by side in the second direction include a first pixel and a second pixel each having a light receiving sensitivity, the light receiving sensitivity of the first pixel and the light receiving sensitivity of the second pixel being different from each other.
