Abstract
The present technique relates to an imaging element and a distance measurement module capable of reducing parasitic capacity. A distance measurement module includes: a first wiring that connects predetermined transistors in first adjacent pixels to a via formed in one of first adjacent pixels and connected to a wiring formed in another layer; and a second wiring that connects predetermined transistors in second adjacent pixels to a via formed in a pixel that is adjacent to one of second adjacent pixels and connected to a wiring formed in another layer, in which the first wiring is connected to a redundant wiring. The present technique can be applied to a distance measurement sensor that performs distance measurement, for example.
