Abstract

A structure has first pixels constituted of a laminate including a light-receiving element, a color filter, and a near-infrared cut filter, and second pixels including a near-infrared transmitting filter. The near-infrared cut filter includes a predetermined near-infrared absorbing colorant, a resin having a glass transition temperature of 100° C. or higher, and a surfactant.
