The lens optical system has a first optical region Dwhich transmits mostly light vibrating in the direction of a first polarization axis and a second optical region Dwhich transmits mostly light vibrating in the direction of a second polarization axis that is different from the direction of the first polarization axis. The array of optical elements makes the light that has passed through the first optical region Dincident on the plurality of first pixels and also makes the light that has passed through the second optical region Dincident on the plurality of second pixels.
