    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes an image sensor comprising a plurality of pixels at least part of which form a plurality of focus detection pixel pairs, each receiving light rays passing through different pupil areas of an image forming optical system; a detection unit configured to detect a defocus amount, based on a phase difference between signals output from the focus detection pixel pairs in a focusing area; a judging unit configured to determine if a subject corresponds to a predetermined pattern, based on the signals output from the pixels other than the focus detection pixel pairs around the focus detection pixel pairs in the focusing area; and a focus control unit configured to drive the image forming optical system to be in an in-focus state based on the detected defocus amount. The judging unit changes focus control, performed by the focus control unit, based on the determination result.

    摘要: A pixel array for imaging comprises an array of pixels of a first pixel type (50) and a second pixel type (60, 70; 80). Each pixel of the first pixel type (50) comprises a first photo-sensitive element (51) having a first area. Each pixel of the second pixel type (60, 70; 70) comprises a second photo-sensitive element (61, 71; 81) and a third photo-sensitive element (62, 72; 82). The second photo-sensitive element (61, 71; 81) has a second area, which is smaller than the first area. Only the second photo-sensitive element in the pixel of the second pixel type is connected to a readout circuit. The third photo-sensitive element is connected to a charge drain via a permanent connection or a switchable connection. Outputs of the second photo-sensitive elements (61, 71; 81) can be used to perform phase detect autofocussing.

    摘要: An imaging device is provided. The imaging device includes: a plurality of phase difference detecting pixels. The plurality of phase difference detecting pixels are defined as portions of areas of pixels and have light-receiving areas receiving incident light, and widths of the light-receiving areas of the phase difference detecting pixels widen as the phase difference detecting pixels get farther apart from a center of the imaging device in a row direction of the imaging device.
