Abstract
Color accuracy in an imaging device is improved. An imaging element includes a plurality of pixels that acquires first information that is information of three primary colors and second information that is information of at least two colors different from the three primary colors and that includes at least one of complementary colors of the three primary colors.
Claims15
An imaging element comprising:
- a plurality of pixels that acquires first information that is information of three primary colors and second information that is information of at least two colors different from the three primary colors and that includes at least one of complementary colors of the three primary colors,
- wherein the plurality of pixels include a plurality of divided pixels that are divided in a predetermined direction, each divided region of a divided pixel having a respective light receiving element,
- information of one color of the first information and one color the second information is acquired for each of the divided pixels,
- only pieces of information of similar colors having a common wavelength component included in the first information and the second information are collectively associated for each divided pixel,
- the three primary colors include red (R), green (G), and blue (B), and the complementary colors include cyan (Cy), yellow (Ye), and magenta (Mg), and
- the second information includes Cy information, Ye information, and Mg information.
