Abstract
To prevent the occurrence of a defect in an infrared-light attenuation filter and prevent a reduction in image quality. An imaging device includes a photoelectric converter, an on-chip lens, a color filter, the infrared-light attenuation filter, and a protective film. The photoelectric converter performs photoelectric conversion depending on incident light. The on-chip lens collects the incident light into the photoelectric converter. Infrared light and visible light of a specified wavelength from among the collected incident light are transmitted through the color filter. The infrared-light attenuation filter attenuates the infrared light from among the collected incident light, and visible light from among the collected incident light is transmitted through the infrared-light attenuation filter. The protective film is arranged adjacent to the infrared-light attenuation filter and protects the infrared-light attenuation filter.
