Abstract:
An imaging device according to the present invention includes multiple pixels arranged in a row direction and a column direction, which are orthogonal to each other. The multiple pixels include distance measurement pixels each including multiple photo-electric converters arranged so as to be adjacent to each other in the row direction. When M and N denote integers not smaller than one, the pixels are arranged at positions shifted in the row direction for every M-number rows by an amount corresponding to a half of the pixel, color filters are arranged in the row direction in an array of N-number columns per cycle, and the color filters are arranged in the column direction in an array of 2MN-number rows per cycle.
