The present disclosure relates to a solid state image sensor and electronic equipment that enable degradation in image quality of a captured image to be suppressed even if any pixel in a pixel array is configured as a functional pixel for obtaining desired information in order to obtain information different from a normal image. In a plurality of pixels constituting subblocks provided in an RGB Bayer array constituting a block which is a set of color units, normal pixels that capture a normal image are arranged longitudinally and laterally symmetrically within the subblock, and functional pixels for obtaining desired information other than capturing an image are arranged at the remaining positions. The present disclosure can be applied to a solid state image sensor.

The present disclosure relates to an imaging device capable of enhancing an accuracy of detecting a light with a narrow wavelength band, and an electronic apparatus. An imaging device includes a pixel array including an effective region used for obtaining an image and a surrounding region around the effective region, a plurality of kinds of first optical filters configured to transmit a light with a respective different wavelength are provided in respective pixels in the effective region, a second optical filter having a transmission band with a smaller bandwidth than a bandwidth of a transmission band of the first optical filters is provided in a first pixel in the surrounding region, and a third optical filter with a difference in transmission band from the second optical filter of a predetermined wavelength or more, or with a transmissivity equal to or lower than a transmissivity of the second optical filter is provided in a second pixel adjacent to the first pixel. The present technology can be applied to a CMOS image sensor, for example.

An image scanning, displaying and lighting system for eliminating color differences is revealed. The system includes an image scanner, a display screen with a second emission spectrum and a lighting device with a third emission spectrum. The image scanner consists of an optoelectronic image capturing and forming system, a plurality of first light sources disposed around the optoelectronic image capturing and forming system and a control module. The first light sources have a first emission spectrum which is a white light composed of a plurality of wavebands with different peak wavelengths. The control module controls the optoelectronic image capturing and forming system to take monochrome images in different colors in time sequence. The second emission spectrum has the same characteristics as the first emission spectrum while the third emission spectrum has the same characteristics as the second emission spectrum.

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.

A head-mounted extended reality (XR) display device includes a rigid mounting element coupled to a frame. The XR display device further includes right-side and left-side visible light cameras coupled to the rigid mounting element, right-side and left-side near-infrared (NIR) cameras coupled to the rigid mounting element, and an NIR light-emitting diode (LED) configured to illuminate a region within a field of view of the NIR cameras. The visible light cameras are configured to capture stereoscopic visible light images within a field of view of the user when the user is wearing the frame, and the NIR cameras are configured to capture stereoscopic NIR images within the field of view of the user when the user is wearing the frame.

Manufacture of an imaging element in which light entering a pixel without being transmitted through a color filter arranged in the pixel is attenuated is simplified. An imaging element includes a pixel and an incident light attenuating section. The pixel includes a color filter through which light having a predetermined wavelength of light from a subject is transmitted, and a photoelectric conversion section generating charges responding to the light transmitted through the color filter. The incident light attenuating section is arranged between the subject and the color filter, and attenuates the light entering the photoelectric conversion section without being transmitted through the color filter arranged in the pixel.
