Abstract:
Provided is a solid-state imaging device which can carry out ranging with high precision even when the pixel size is small. The solid-state imaging device including a pixel includes: a photoelectric conversion unit for converting light into an electrical signal; an optical waveguide provided on an light incident side of the photoelectric conversion unit, the optical waveguide being configured so that light entering from a first direction is converted into a first waveguide mode and is guided and light entering from a second direction, which is different from the first direction, is converted into a second waveguide mode and is guided; and a light blocking member provided in the optical waveguide, for reducing more light in the second waveguide mode which is guided to the photoelectric conversion unit than light in the first waveguide mode which is guided to the photoelectric conversion unit.
