Abstract
An imaging device includes: a first pixel including a first photoelectric converter that converts incident light into first signal charges, and a first charge storage node that accumulates the first signal charges; and a second pixel including a second photoelectric converter that converts incident light into second signal charges, and a second charge storage node that accumulates the second signal charges. An area of the second photoelectric converter is greater than an area of the first photoelectric converter in a plan view. Capacitance of the first charge storage node is greater than capacitance of the second charge storage node.
