Abstract:
A multi-layer image sensor includes: a first image sensor including a first pixel and a second pixel; and a second image sensor including a third pixel and at least one of a fourth pixel and a fifth pixel. The second image sensor has a light receiving surface where the first image sensor is stacked. At least a portion of the fourth pixel is arranged at a position corresponding to a position of the first pixel and at a position overlapping with the first pixel in a stacking direction of the first sensor. At least a portion of the third pixel is arranged at a position corresponding to a position of the second pixel and at a position overlapping with the second pixel in the stacking direction of the first sensor.
