Abstract
A solid-state imaging device includes a first light receiving unit and second light receiving units. In the first light receiving unit, a plurality of pixel pairs are arrayed along an x direction. In each of the second light receiving units, a plurality of pixels each for generating charges in an amount according to a light receiving amount are arrayed along a y direction. Each pixel pair includes a first pixel and a second pixel. When line-shaped light extending in the x direction is incident on the first light receiving unit, as a light incident position varies from one side to another side in the y direction, a charge amount generated in the first pixel gradually decreases, and a charge amount generated in the second pixel gradually increases.
