Abstract

The present technology relates to a solid-state imaging device, an imaging apparatus, and an electronic apparatus, which can suppress a color mixture without lowering the sensitivity. In pixels (red pixels (R pixels), green pixels (G pixels), and blue pixels (B pixels)) other than W pixels and adjacent to the W pixels, light shielding films thicker than those of the W pixels are formed at positions adjacent to the W pixels. Furthermore, the shorter the wavelength, the thicker the light shielding film in the RGB pixels other than the W pixels. The present technology is applicable to the solid-state imaging device.

Claims (20)

1. A light detecting device comprising:

a plurality of pixels including:

a first pixel including a first color filter;

a second pixel including a second color filter, wherein the second pixel is disposed adjacent to the first pixel in a plan view;

a third pixel including a third color filter, wherein the third pixel is disposed adjacent to the first pixel in the plan view;

wherein an effective light-receiving region of the first pixel is greater than an effective light-receiving region of the second pixel in the plan view, and

wherein the effective light-receiving region of the second pixel is greater than an effective light-receiving region of the third pixel in the plan view.

2. The light detecting device according to claim 1 , wherein the first pixel and the second pixel are disposed along a first direction in the plan view.

3. The light detecting device according to claim 2 , wherein the first pixel and the third pixel are disposed along a second direction in the plan view.

4. The light detecting device according to claim 3 , wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction in the plan view.

5. The light detecting device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a fourth pixel including a fourth color filter, wherein an effective light-receiving region of the first pixel is greater than an effective light-receiving region of the fourth pixel in the plan view.

6. The light detecting device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a film including metal, wherein the second pixel and the third pixel include the film.

7. The light detecting device according to claim 1 , wherein the first color filter has a peak spectral sensitivity that is different from the second color filter and the third color filter.

8. The light detecting device according to claim 5 , wherein the first color filter has a peak spectral sensitivity that is the same as the fourth color filter.

9. The light detecting device according to claim 1 , wherein the first color filter transmits light in a wavelength band of green,

wherein the second color filter transmits light in a wavelength band of red, and wherein the third color filter transmits light in a wavelength band of blue.

10. The light detecting device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a fourth pixel without a color filter.

11. The light detecting device according to claim 10 , wherein the fourth pixel receives a white light.

12. The light detecting device according to claim 10 , wherein an effective light-receiving region of the fourth pixel is greater than an effective light-receiving region of the second pixel in the plan view.

13. The light detecting device according to claim 10 , wherein the fourth pixel is disposed adjacent to the second pixel and the third pixel in the plan view.
