Abstract
There is provided a light receiving element capable of obtaining a signal with high autofocus performance while suppressing image quality degradation, an imaging device, and a correction processing method. The light receiving element includes a first pixel that includes a plurality of photoelectric conversion units that shares a first on-chip lens, receives incident light from a pupil region of an optical system via the first on-chip lens, and performs photoelectric conversion, and a second pixel that includes a plurality of photoelectric conversion units that shares a second on-chip lens, receives the incident light from the pupil region of the optical system via the second on-chip lens, and performs the photoelectric conversion. The second pixel has lower transmittance on an outer side of the pupil region in which the first pixel is capable of receiving light as compared with the transmittance of the pupil region.
