Abstract
A solid-state image sensing device including a plurality of photo cells provided on a substrate and a plurality of micro condenser members each provided on a corresponding photo cell. The interval at which the micro condenser members are arranged at a central portion of the substrate differs from the interval at which the micro condenser members are arranged at a peripheral portion. Further, a center of the micro condenser member and a center of the photo cell may coincide with each other at the central portion of the substrate and may shift from each other at the peripheral portion thereof. Also, a power of the micro condenser members arranged at the central portion of the substrate may differ from a power of the micro condenser members arranged at the peripheral portion thereof. Additionally, the image sensing device may be included in an image taking system with a photo-taking lens which is not telecentric, wherein the solid-state image sensing device receives an object image formed by the photo-taking lens.
