Abstract
A solid-state imaging element of the present disclosure includes: a pixel array in which a plurality of pixels having different spectral characteristics are arranged and one or more pixels of the plurality of pixels have a spectral characteristic that includes spectral characteristics of two or more pixels that are different from the one or more pixels; and a signal processing unit that synthesizes signals of one or more pixels of the pixels that have the included spectral characteristics with a luminance signal, when a signal of a pixel that has two or more spectral characteristics in the pixel array is used to generate the luminance signal.

A solid-state imaging element comprising:
- a pixel array in which a plurality of pixels having different spectral characteristics are arranged and one or more pixels of the plurality of pixels have a spectral characteristic that includes spectral characteristics of two or more pixels that are different from the one or more pixels;
- and
- a signal processing unit that synthesizes signals of one or more pixels of the pixels that have the included spectral characteristics with a luminance signal, when a signal of a pixel that has two or more spectral characteristics in the pixel array is used to generate the luminance signal.
A signal processing circuit of a solid-state imaging element that includes a pixel array in which a plurality of pixels having different spectral characteristics are arranged and one or more pixels of the plurality of pixels have a spectral characteristic that includes spectral characteristics of two or more pixels that are different from the one or more pixels,
- wherein signals of one or more pixels of the pixels that have the included spectral characteristics are synthesized with a luminance signal, when a signal of a pixel that has two or more spectral characteristics in the pixel array is used to generate the luminance signal.
A signal processing circuit that processes an output signal of a first solid-state imaging element and an output signal of a second solid-state imaging element, the first solid-state imaging element being configured by arranging pixels of a first color, the second solid-state imaging element being configured by arranging pixels of a second color,
- wherein, when a luminance signal is generated, signals of the pixels of the first color and signals of the pixels of the second color are synthesized, the signals of the pixels of the first color being output from the first solid-state imaging element, the signals of the pixels of the second color being output from the second solid-state imaging element.
