An imaging device comprising:
- photovoltaic type pixels that have photoelectric conversion regions generating photovoltaic power for each pixel depending on irradiation light;
- an element isolation region that is provided between the photoelectric conversion regions of adjacent pixels and in a state of substantially surrounding at least one of the photoelectric conversion regions;
- and
- an accumulation type pixel that is provided in a position adjacent to at least one of the photovoltaic type pixels.
An electronic apparatus equipped with an imaging device, wherein the imaging device includes photovoltaic type pixels that have photoelectric conversion regions generating photovoltaic power for each pixel depending on irradiation light, an element isolation region that is provided between the photoelectric conversion regions of adjacent pixels and in a state of substantially surrounding at least one of the photoelectric conversion regions, and an accumulation type pixel that is provided in a position adjacent to at least one of the photovoltaic type pixels.
An imaging device comprising:
- a photovoltaic type pixel having a photoelectric conversion region;
- an element isolation region, wherein the element isolation region substantially surrounds the photoelectric conversion region of the photovoltaic type pixel;
- and
- an accumulation type pixel adjacent to the photovoltaic type pixel.
