Abstract
A phase detection autofocus pixel (1) comprising, a photodiode (2), a plurality of microlenses (3) for concentrating light, incident on each of the microlenses (3), onto the photodiode (2), and for each microlens (3), a light shield (4) associated therewith, for blocking part of the light transmitted by the microlens (3) towards the photodiode (2), wherein the light shields (4) are offset from an optical axis (31) of their associated microlenses (3) in a same offset direction (X).
