Abstract
The present technology relates to a solid-state imaging element, an imaging device, and an electronic apparatus which enable enhancement of focusing accuracy and sensitivity and suppression of color mixing, in a high image height portion. Incident light is condensed by a main lens, and the condensed light is condensed by a plurality of on-chip lenses. The on-chip lenses are each shared by a plurality of photodiodes that receive the light condensed by the on-chip lens and that generate and accumulate electric charges corresponding to the amounts of light. The plurality of photodiodes sharing the on-chip lens are shaped, in accordance with the image height of the on-chip lens, in such a manner as to have substantially uniform light reception characteristics. The present technology is applicable to a CMOS image sensor.
