Abstract
A solid-state image sensing device has a plurality of detection units periodically arranged as a two-dimensional array on a substrate. Each of the detection units includes a visible light detector and an infrared light detector arranged on the same optical axis in a vertical direction so that the visible light detector and the infrared light detector overlap with each other. Each of the detection units also includes a signal readout circuit provided in the substrate so as to output signals of the visible light detector and the infrared light detector as time-series signals.
