Imaging device

Abstract

An imaging device including: an imaging unit in which a plurality of shared sections each including two pixel regions adjacent at least in a first direction is provided and the shared sections provided at closest positions in a second direction are disposed to shift in the first direction by the one pixel region; a photoelectric converter provided for each of the pixel regions; an electric charge holding unit that holds signal charge generated by the photoelectric converter; an electric charge voltage converter to which the signal charge is transferred from the electric charge holding unit; and a pixel transistor that is electrically coupled to the electric charge voltage converter. The second direction intersects the first direction. The pixel transistor is provided for each of the shared sections.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
