TWO-DIMENSIONAL SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING POLARIZED LIGHT DATA IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a two-dimensional solid-state imaging device with an optimized positional relation between various constituent members and polarizing members. PSOLUTION: In a two-dimensional solid-state imaging device, a plurality of pixel regions are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix shape, and each pixel region includes a plurality of sub-pixel regions. Each sub-pixel region includes a photoelectric conversion element. Among a plurality of sub-pixel regions for constituting respective pixel regions, a wire grid type polarizing member is arranged on the light incident side of one or at least one sub-pixel region. Each sub-pixel region includes a wiring layer comprising the same material as the polarizing member and arranged on the same virtual plane as the polarizing member, or includes a light shielding layer arranged on the same virtual plane as the polarizing member, or a color filter arranged on the same virtual plane as the polarizing member.
