Original Abstract Submitted
An imaging device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a first pixel, a second pixel, and a spectroscopic section. The first pixel includes a first photoelectric conversion section that selectively receives first wavelength light included in a first wavelength band and performs photoelectric conversion of the first wavelength light. The second pixel includes a second photoelectric conversion section that selectively receives second wavelength light included in a second wavelength band and performs photoelectric conversion of the second wavelength band. The second pixel is adjacent to the first pixel. The spectroscopic section includes a structure having a size less than or equal to a wavelength of incident light, and is provided on a boundary between the first pixel and the second pixel. The spectroscopic section separates the first wavelength light and the second wavelength light from the incident light.
