Abstract:
[Problem] To provide an electronic device that can suppress decrease of resolution of a captured image while increasing types of information to be obtained by an imaging unit. [Solution] This electronic device is provided with an imaging unit having a plurality of pixel groups comprising two adjacent pixels. At least one first pixel group of the plurality of pixel groups has: a first lens that collects incident light; a first photoelectric conversion unit that performs photoelectric conversion on a part of the incident light collected via the first lens; and a second photoelectric conversion unit that is different from the first photoelectric conversion unit and that performs photoelectric conversion on a part of the incident light collected via the first lens. At least one second pixel group different from the first pixel group of the plurality of pixel groups has a second lens that collects incident light; a third photoelectric conversion that performs photoelectric conversion on the incident light collected via the second lens; a third lens that is different from the second lens and that collects incident light; and a fourth photoelectric conversion unit that is different from the third photoelectric conversion unit and that performs photoelectric conversion on the incident light collected via the third lens.
