Abstract
An imaging apparatus capable of performing phase difference detection while allowing light to enter an imaging device is provided. The imaging unit (1) includes: an imaging device (10) configured to perform photoelectric conversion on received light and allow light to pass therethrough; a package (31) holding the imaging device (10); and a phase difference detection unit (20) configured to perform phase difference detection on received light which has passed through the imaging device (10). The package (31) has openings (31c, 31c, . . . ). Light which has passed through the imaging device (10) passes through the openings (31c, 31c, . . . ). The light which has passed through the imaging device (10) passes through the package (31) via the openings (31c, 31c, . . . ), and enters the phase difference detection unit (20).
Claims8
An imaging apparatus, comprising:
- an imaging device configured to perform photoelectric conversion on received light and allow light to pass therethrough;
- a holding portion holding the imaging device;
- and
- a phase difference detection section configured to perform phase difference detection on received light which has passed through the imaging device, wherein
- the holding portion includes a light passing portion allowing the light which has passed through the imaging device to pass therethrough, and
- the light which has passed through the imaging device passes through the holding portion via the light passing portion to enter the phase difference detection section.
