Abstract
Image plane phase difference pixels that can handle incident light at two or more chief ray angles are realized. A solid-state imaging device includes a pixel, the pixel including a microlens that condenses light from a subject, a photoelectric conversion unit that receives the subject light condensed by the microlens to generate an electrical signal according to an amount of received light, and a light shielding portion provided between the photoelectric conversion unit and the microlens. The light shielding portion includes an edge portion formed across over a light receiving surface of the photoelectric conversion unit, and the edge portion includes a first edge portion and a second edge portion at positions different from each other both in a first direction corresponding to an up and down direction of an output image and a second direction corresponding to a left and right direction of the output image.
