Abstract

An imaging device includes a first photoelectric converter, a second photoelectric converter, and a first capacitive element. The first photoelectric converter converts light having a wavelength in a first wavelength region into first electric charge. The second photoelectric converter converts light having a wavelength in a second wavelength region into second electric charge. The second photoelectric converter is arranged at a different height from the first photoelectric converter in a thickness direction of the imaging device. The first capacitive element accumulates the first electric charge and the second electric charge.
