IMAGING ELEMENT AND ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/085406
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Solution] The present invention provides an imaging element configured as a semiconductor chip, wherein an optical member is provided outside the semiconductor chip, and said imaging element comprises: an acquisition unit for acquiring information regarding the optical member; a pixel unit including N (N is an integer) types of pixels each having different spectral characteristics with respect to the wavelength of input light input via the optical member; a conversion unit that converts an output signal from the pixel unit into a digital output signal; a processing unit that uses the output signal output by the conversion unit as a basis to perform conversion processing of at least N + 1 processing signals each having different spectral characteristics using the aforementioned information; and an output unit that outputs a signal based on the processing signals to the exterior of the semiconductor chip.
