Title:
IMAGING ELEMENT AND IMAGING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/170618
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to improve the dynamic range of an imaging element having polarized pixels. The imaging element is equipped with a high-sensitivity pixel group and a low-sensitivity pixel group. The high-sensitivity pixel group provided to the imaging element is composed of a plurality of high-sensitivity pixels. The low-sensitivity pixel group provided to the imaging element is composed of a plurality of low-sensitivity pixels. A polarizing section that allows incident light in a given polarizing direction to pass therethrough is arranged in at least a portion of pixels in the high-sensitivity group, from among the high-sensitivity pixel group and the low-sensitivity pixel group.
