Abstract
Reception of the invisible light wavelength band in an incident luminous flux has not been considered. In view of this, an image sensor is provided, the image sensor including: a visible parallax pixel that is associated with a visible range light-receiving photoelectric conversion pixel having any of a plurality of types of aperture mask each including an aperture that is positioned to allow passage, to a photoelectric converting element, of a mutually different partial luminous flux of an incident luminous flux in a visible light wavelength band; and an invisible parallax pixel that is associated with an invisible range light-receiving photoelectric conversion pixel having any of a plurality of types of aperture mask each including an aperture positioned to allow passage, to the photoelectric converting element, of a mutually different partial luminous flux in an incident luminous flux in an invisible light wavelength band.
