    摘要: To suppress the reduction in transmission efficiency due to the change of the chief ray angle in spite of using structural color filters. A solid-state imaging element includes: a light receiving element included in a plurality of pixels; structural color filters located above at least part of the light receiving element and each including a metal film a periodic opening pattern with a structural period smaller than a prescribed wavelength; and an interconnection layer located below the light receiving element and configured to acquire a signal of light detected by the light receiving element. The structural period is different between the structural color filters in accordance with a chief ray angle of incident light, and the structural period of the periodic opening pattern becomes smaller as the chief ray angle becomes larger, relative to the structural period of the periodic opening pattern at the chief ray angle of 0°.

    摘要: An optical filter that suppresses the occurrence of color mixing due to wavelength components on the short wavelength side relative to the desired transmission component. The optical filter includes a metal thin-film filter in which a plurality of openings are periodically arranged, and a first dielectric layer that coats a surface of the metal thin-film filter and coats or fills an interior of the opening of the metal thin-film filter. The optical filter also includes a second dielectric layer having a refractive index lower than a refractive index of the first dielectric layer and formed at least on an incidence surface side of the metal thin-film filter. The present technology can be applied to a hole array filter.
