Abstract
In an imaging element, a plurality of pixels each having a photoelectric conversion part is arranged in a two-dimensional matrix. Some of the plurality of pixels each have a polarizer placed therein on a side of a light beam incidence plane. At least some of pixels having no polarizer placed therein each have a material layer placed therein that prevents transmission of a light beam having a wavelength of a predetermined range, to reduce color mixture in the pixel having the polarizer placed therein.
