Abstract:
An imaging element according to an embodiment includes: a unit pixel including a first pixel having a first photoelectric conversion element and including a second pixel having a second photoelectric conversion element, the second pixel being arranged adjacent to the first pixel; and an accumulation portion that accumulates a charge generated by the second photoelectric conversion element and converts the accumulated charge into a voltage. The accumulation portion is disposed at a boundary between the unit pixel and another unit pixel adjacent to the unit pixel.
