Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the technique in JP2009-54806A, it is necessary to set the size of the microlens to half the pixel pitch (pixel pitch), and this is not effective compared to the general case where microlenses are arranged for each pixel. process light
There is concern that the sensitivity may be reduced

Abstract

The invention relates to a solid-state imaging device, a method for controlling the same, and an electronic apparatus comprising the same. The solid-state imaging device includes a plurality of pixels which are arranged in a two-dimensional array form and in each of which color separation is performed in a substrate depth direction. The solid-state imaging device includes a pixel addition section which performs addition, when pixel signals of the plurality of pixels are added up to be outputted, by setting addition regions of pixel signals of a first color component to be shifted from addition regions of pixel signals of a second color component at regular intervals. According to the invention, output resolution in the solid-state imaging device performing the color separation in the substrate depth direction can be enhanced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a solid-state imaging device, a control method of the solid-state imaging device, and an electronic device, and in particular, to a solid-state imaging device capable of improving the output resolution of a solid-state imaging device that performs color separation in a substrate depth direction, and a solid-state imaging device control methods and electronic devices. Background technique [0002] There is a solid-state imaging device in which color filters of respective colors are arranged in respective pixels in a Bayer array or the like, and a plurality of colors (usually R, G, and B) are transferred from pixels adjacent to each other as a whole. read out. In recent years, there has also been proposed a solid-state imaging device including pixels each having photoelectric conversion portions for respective plural colors arranged in a substrate depth direction. Thus, this solid-state imaging device is capable of read...
