Title:
IMAGE PICKUP DEVICE AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/023355
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A second image sensor (200) comprises: a plurality of phase difference detection pixels that generate signals for performing the focus determination using a phase difference detection; and a plurality of image generation pixels that generate signals for generating an image. In the second image sensor (200), first pixel groups, in each of which some of the plurality of phase difference detection pixels are arranged in a particular direction, and second pixel groups, in each of which some of the plurality of image generation pixels are arranged in the particular direction, are interleaved in an orthogonal direction that is orthogonal to the particular direction. In a case where an image pickup device, which is used for the phase difference detection and for the image generation, generates an image, the load of the process involved in the image generation can be reduced.
