    Abstract: An imaging device includes: a semiconductor substrate including a pixel region in which pixels are arranged and a peripheral region adjacent to the pixel region; an insulating layer that covers the pixel region and the peripheral region; a first electrode located on the insulating layer above the pixel region; a photoelectric conversion layer that covers the first electrode; a second electrode that covers the photoelectric conversion layer; detection circuitry located in the pixel region and connected to the first electrode; peripheral circuitry located in the peripheral region and connected to the detection circuitry; and a third electrode located on the insulating layer above the peripheral region. The second electrode extends above the peripheral region, and the second electrode includes a connection region in which the second electrode is connected to the third electrode, the connection region overlapping the peripheral circuitry in plan view.

    Abstract: A three-dimensional motion obtaining apparatus includes: a light source; a charge amount obtaining circuit that includes pixels and obtains, for each of the pixels, a first charge amount under a first exposure pattern and a second charge amount under a second exposure pattern having an exposure period that at least partially overlaps an exposure period of the first exposure pattern; and a processor that controls a light emission pattern for the light source, the first exposure pattern, and the second exposure pattern. The processor estimates a distance to a subject for each of the pixels on the basis of the light emission pattern and on the basis of the first charge amount and the second charge amount of each of the pixels obtained by the charge amount obtaining circuit, and estimates an optical flow for each of the pixels on the basis of the first exposure pattern, the second exposure pattern, and the first charge amount and the second charge amount obtained by the charge amount obtaining circuit.
