Abstract
An image sensor includes: a plurality of microlenses arranged in a two-dimensional pattern; and a plurality of pixels that are provided in correspondence to each of the microlenses and receive lights of different color components, respectively. Pixels that are provided at adjacent microlenses among the microlenses and that receive lights of same color components, are adjacently arranged.
Claims11
An image sensor comprising:
- a first photoelectric conversion unit that generates set of charges by performing photoelectric conversion of a light which has transmitted through a first filter that is transmissive to a first wavelength light;
- a second photoelectric conversion unit that generates set of charges by performing photoelectric conversion of a light which has transmitted through a second filter that is transmissive to a second wavelength light;
- a third photoelectric conversion unit that generates set of charges by performing photoelectric conversion of a light which has transmitted through the first filter that is transmissive to the first wavelength light;
- a fourth photoelectric conversion unit that generates set of charges by performing photoelectric conversion of a light which has transmitted through the second filter that is transmissive to the second wavelength light;
- a first output unit that outputs a signal based upon at least one of the set of charges generated by the first photoelectric conversion unit and the set of charges generated by the third photoelectric conversion unit;
- and
- a second output unit that outputs a signal based upon at least one of the set of charges generated by the second photoelectric conversion unit and the set of charges generated by the fourth photoelectric conversion unit.
