SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18017526 titled 'SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application is about improving the accuracy of results obtained by processing information from different sensors.

  • The invention is a solid-state imaging device that includes two sensors.
  • The first sensor detects light in a specific wavelength band.
  • The second sensor detects light in a different wavelength band.
  • The first sensor has a pixel that detects light in the first wavelength band.
  • The second sensor has a pixel that detects light in the second wavelength band transmitted through the first pixel.
  • The purpose is to integrate information from both sensors to improve accuracy.


Original Abstract Submitted

Accuracy of results obtained by integrally processing information acquired by different sensors is improved. A solid-state imaging device according to an embodiment includes: a first sensor that detects light in a first wavelength band; and a second sensor that detects light of a second wavelength band different from the first wavelength band, in which the first sensor includes a first pixel () that detects light of the first wavelength band in incident light, and the second sensor includes a second pixel () that detects light in the second wavelength band that has transmitted through the first pixel among the incident light.
