IMAGING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18249356 titled 'IMAGING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an imaging apparatus with multiple photoelectric conversion units stacked in a light incident direction.

• The imaging apparatus includes photoelectric conversion elements that convert light into electrical signals in different wavelength regions.
• The photoelectric conversion units are stacked one on top of another.
• A charge holding unit is used to store the electrical charges accumulated in the photoelectric conversion elements.
• The apparatus allows for capturing images in different wavelength regions simultaneously.
• The stacked configuration improves the efficiency and accuracy of the photoelectric conversion process.
• The charge holding unit ensures that the electrical charges are properly stored and not lost during the conversion process.

Original Abstract Submitted

An imaging apparatus according to the present technology includes a plurality of photoelectric conversion units, each including a photoelectric conversion element that performs photoelectric conversion with light in a different wavelength region, the photoelectric conversion units being stacked in a light incident direction, and a charge holding unit that holds charges accumulated in the photoelectric conversion element in the different photoelectric conversion units.
