    摘要: A solid-state imaging device according to the present invention includes, on an imaging surface, a plurality of unit pixel regions being arrayed at a first pixel pitch along a Y direction and at a second pixel pitch along an X direction. One of two adjoining unit pixel regions 1 along the Y first direction includes a first photodetecting portion 1a having a first opening ratio, and the other includes a second photodetecting portion 1b having a second opening ratio which is lower than the first opening ratio. When the first photodetecting portion 1a is moved imaginarily by a first pixel pitch along the Y direction, the first photodetecting portion 1a covers the entire second photodetecting portion 1b. At this time, a portion of the first photodetecting portion 1a that does not cover the second photodetecting portion 1b functions as an imaginary third photodetecting portion. From a difference between signals output from the photodetecting portions 1a and 1b, an imaginary pixel signal which is in accordance with an amount of light entering the imaginary third photodetecting portion is obtained.

    摘要: An image capture device according to the present invention includes an imaging lens 3, a light-transmitting section 2 with two polarizers, and a solid-state image sensor 1 that has multiple pixels and their associated polarization filters. A first polarization filter 50a is arranged to face a first group of pixels W1 and a second polarization filter 50b is arranged to face a second group of pixels W2. The respective transmission axes of the polarizing areas P(1) and P(2) of the light-transmitting section 2 form an angle θ between themselves. Also, the transmission axis of the first polarization filter 50a defines an angle α with respect to that of the polarizing area P(1). And the transmission axis of the second polarization filter 50b defines an angle β with respect to that of the polarizing area P(2). With such an arrangement adopted, the image capture device of the present invention can obtain images with parallax efficiently.
