Abstract

A plurality of subpixels is included in one pixel. An imaging device includes a subpixel, a pixel, and a pixel array. The subpixel includes a photoelectric conversion element that receives light incident at a predetermined angle and outputs an analog signal on the basis of intensity of the received light. The pixel includes a plurality of the subpixels, a lens that condenses light incident from an outside on the subpixel, and a photoelectric conversion element isolation portion that does not propagate information regarding intensity of the light acquired in the photoelectric conversion element to the adjacent photoelectric conversion element, and further includes a light-shielding wall that shields light incident on the lens of another pixel. The pixel array includes a plurality of the pixels.
