Abstract: The present technology relates to an image sensor and an electronic device capable of performing imaging in which mixed color is reduced. Photoelectric conversion layers including photoelectric conversion units separated in units of pixels are stacked in two or more layers, the image sensor is configured to include a state in which light incident on one pixel in a first photoelectric conversion layer closer to an optical lens is received by the photoelectric conversion unit in a second photoelectric conversion layer distant from the optical lens, the image sensor includes a light-shielding layer configured to shield light transmitted through the first photoelectric conversion layer, between the first photoelectric conversion layer and the second photoelectric conversion layer, the light-shielding layer has an opening to transmit the light from the first photoelectric conversion layer to the second photoelectric conversion layer, and the openings are made to be asymmetric with respect to the pixel in the first photoelectric conversion layer. The present technology can be applied to an image sensor with a multi-layered structure.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a solid-state image sensor, an imaging control method, a signal processing method, and an electronic apparatus that suppress the deterioration of image quality, which is caused by the difference of sensitivity between pixels. A solid-state image sensor includes: a pixel array unit including a plurality of pixels arranged, the plurality of pixels including a plurality of kinds of pixels, the plurality of kinds of pixels including a first pixel and a second pixel, the first pixel having the highest sensitivity, the second pixel having a sensitivity lower than the sensitivity of the first pixel; and a control unit that controls at least one of an analog gain and exposure time of/for the respective pixels depending on a ratio between the sensitivities of the first pixel and the second pixel. The present technology is applicable to a solid-state image sensor such as a CMOS image sensor.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a solid-state image capturing apparatus and an electronic device that can acquire a normal image and a narrow band image at the same time. The solid-state image capturing apparatus includes a plurality of substrates laminated in two or more layers, and two or more substrates of the plurality of substrates have pixels that perform photoelectric conversion. At least one substrate of the substrates having the pixels is a visible light sensor that receives visible light, and at least another substrate of the substrates having the pixels is a narrow band light sensor that includes narrow band filters being optical filters permeating light in a narrow wavelength band, and receives narrow band light in the narrow band.
