Abstract
To provide a new arrangement configuration for optical black pixels, provided is an imaging element including a microlens; a pixel that is provided to correspond to the microlens and generates image data by photoelectrically converting light incident thereto via a filter having a predetermined spectral characteristic; and a correction pixel that is provided to correspond to the microlens and generates correction data used to eliminate noise included in the image data.
Claims19
An imaging element comprising:
- a first microlens in which light is incident;
- a second microlens in which light is incident, the second microlens being arranged next to the first microlens in a column direction;
- a first photoelectric converting section that converts light from the first microlens into charge;
- a second photoelectric converting section that converts light from the first microlens into charge;
- a third photoelectric converting section that converts light from the second microlens into charge;
- a light blocking section that blocks light from the second microlens;
- a first transferring section that transfers the charge converted by the first photoelectric converting section;
- a second transferring section that transfers the charge converted by the second photoelectric converting section;
- a third transferring section that transfers the charge converted by the third photoelectric converting section;
- and
- a fourth transferring section that transfers charge for eliminating a noise component included in the charge converted by the third photoelectric converting section.
