Abstract
An imaging device includes a first pixel group including first photoelectric conversion regions, and at least one first color filter on the first photoelectric conversion regions. The imaging device includes a second pixel group including second photoelectric conversion regions, and at least one second color filter on the second photoelectric conversion regions. The imaging device includes a dummy region between the first pixel group and the second pixel group in a first direction so that a first side of the dummy region is adjacent to the first pixel group and a second side of the dummy region is adjacent to the second pixel group.
Claims20
An imaging device, comprising:
- a first pixel group including:
- first photoelectric conversion regions;
- and
- at least one first color filter on the first photoelectric conversion regions;
- a second pixel group including:
- second photoelectric conversion regions;
- and
- at least one second color filter on the second photoelectric conversion regions;
- and
- a dummy region between the first pixel group and the second pixel group in a first direction so that a first side of the dummy region is adjacent to the first pixel group and a second side of the dummy region is adjacent to the second pixel group.
An imaging device, comprising:
- a dummy pixel;
- a first pixel group;
- a second pixel group;
- a third pixel group;
- and
- a fourth pixel group, wherein the first, second, third, and fourth pixel groups surround the dummy pixel.
An imaging device, comprising:
- a plurality of pixel groups;
- and
- a plurality of dummy regions interspersed amongst the plurality of pixel groups such that each side of each dummy region is adjacent to one pixel in each pixel group.
