Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an imaging device capable of achieving miniaturization and height reduction of a device configuration, reducing generation of a flare or a ghost, preventing separation of a lens. A size relation of 'solid-state imaging element>lens non-effective region>lens effective region' is established in a vertical direction with respect to an incident direction of incident light. The present disclosure is applicable to an imaging device.
