Abstract:
It is possible to quickly and readily determine the location of an object. A solid-state imaging element according to an embodiment includes: at least two infrared detectors formed on a semiconductor substrate; an electric interconnect configured to connect the at least two infrared detectors in series; and a comparator unit configured to compare an intermediate voltage of the electric interconnect connecting the infrared detectors in series, with a predetermined reference voltage.
