    摘要: The present disclosure relates to an image pickup element and an image pickup apparatus capable of achieving an improvement in focus accuracy using focal plane phase detection.An image pickup element includes: an ordinary pixel that converts an electric charge generated by photoelectric conversion into a voltage with first conversion efficiency and that outputs a pixel signal used to construct an image; and a phase difference detection pixel that converts an electric charge generated by the photoelectric conversion into a voltage with second conversion efficiency higher than the first conversion efficiency and that outputs a pixel signal used for phase difference detection. Light is blocked on the phase difference pixel by approximately a half of a light-receiving area by a phase difference light blocking film that exhibits a light blocking effect, and the second conversion efficiency is approximately twice as high as the first conversion efficiency of the first pixel. The present technology is applicable to, for example, a CMOS image sensor.

    摘要: The present technology relates to a solid-state imaging device, an electronic apparatus, a lens control method, and a vehicle capable of suppressing deterioration in quality of a captured image. A sub block includes a plurality of pixels of the same color, a block includes a plurality of sub blocks including different colors, and phase difference detection pixels are disposed at positions corresponding to each other in two or more sub blocks in a case in which the phase difference detection pixels are disposed in two or more sub blocks among the plurality of sub blocks configuring the block. For example, the present technology is able to be applied to a camera that calculates an amount of a deviation of a focus and performs focus control on a basis of a calculated defocus amount.
