Abstract
In an imaging device, a plurality of first photoelectric conversion units generate a first signal based on first visible light and infrared light. A plurality of second photoelectric conversion units generate a second signal based on only second visible light. An infrared absorption layer absorbs the infrared light and transmits only the second visible light. A plurality of third photoelectric conversion units generate a third signal based on the infrared light. A signal processing circuit generates a fourth signal by correcting the first signal using the third signal. The signal processing circuit generates a visible light image signal on the basis of the second signal and the fourth signal. The signal processing circuit generates an infrared light image signal on the basis of the third signal.
