Abstract:
A solid-state imaging device has a plurality of imaging-purpose pixels and a plurality of focus detection-purpose pixels. Each of the imaging-purpose pixels are provided with a first lower electrode, a photoelectric conversion film formed on the first lower electrode, and an upper electrode formed on the photoelectric conversion film. Each of the focus detection-purpose pixels is provided with a second lower electrode, the photoelectric conversion film formed on the second lower electrode, and the upper electrode formed on the photoelectric conversion film. The area of the second lower electrode is smaller than the area of the first lower electrodes. The second lower electrode is provided on a position deviating from a pixel center of a corresponding focus detection-pixel, and two second lower electrodes corresponding to two focus detection purpose pixels included in the plurality of focus detection purpose pixels is arranged in mutually opposite directions.
