Imaging device

An imaging device having a lens, an optical sensor that receives light, and an aperture placed close to the lens and placed between the lens and an object to be imaged,

• an outer shape of the aperture being rectangular,
• the aperture being constituted by a liquid crystal aperture in which a liquid crystal layer is sandwiched between a first substrate and a second substrate, a pattern area, and a peripheral light shielding frame,
• wherein the pattern area is a pentagon or larger polygon or circle,
• in the pattern area, scanning lines extend in a first direction and are arranged in a second direction, video signal lines extend in the second direction and are arranged in the first direction, a pixel is formed in a region surrounded by the scanning lines and the video signal lines, a pitch of the pixel in the first direction is 30 μm or less, and a pitch of the pixel in the second direction is 30 μm or less,
• in the pattern area, a columnar spacer, which determines a distance between the first substrate and the second substrate, is formed in a first area which includes a center of the pattern area, and
• in the first direction, a width of the first area is 30% or less of a width of the pattern area.
