Abstract

In an imaging element, a first light detecting layerincludes an organic photoelectric conversion filmthat detects light of a predetermined wavelength band and carries out photoelectric conversion, and photoelectrically converts incident light on the imaging element and light reflected from a wire grid polarizer layer. The wire grid polarizer layerincludes polarizersin which linear materials that do not allow transmission of light therethrough are arranged at intervals shorter than the wavelength of the incident light. A second light detecting layerincludes photoelectric conversion elementsthat photoelectrically convert light transmitted through the polarizers
