Abstract

An imaging element according to the present disclosure includes: a first pixel and a second pixel each including a light receiving section and a light condensing section, in which the light receiving section includes a photoelectric conversion element, and the light condensing section is configured to allow entering light to be condensed toward the light receiving section; a trench provided between the first pixel and the second pixel; a first light shielding film embedded in the trench; and a second light shielding film provided on part of a light receiving surface of the light receiving section of the second pixel, in which the second light shielding film is continuous with the first light shielding film.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 13 . (canceled) 
     
     
         14 . An imaging device comprising:
 a pixel region including a first photoelectric conversion region and a second photoelectric conversion region;   a peripheral region provided around the pixel region; and   a light-shielding film,   wherein a first part of the light-shielding film is embedded in a region between the first photoelectric conversion region and the second photoelectric conversion region,   wherein a second part of the light-shielding film is provided on part of the second photoelectric conversion region, and   wherein a third part of light-shielding film is provided on part of the peripheral region.   
     
     
         15 . The imaging device according to  claim 14 , further comprising a lens array includes a first microlens and a second microlens,
 wherein the first photoelectric conversion region is configured to receive light through the first microlens, and   wherein the second photoelectric conversion region is configured to receive light through the second microlens.   
     
     
         16 . The imaging element according to  claim 14 , wherein at least one of the first photoelectric conversion region and the second photoelectric conversion region serve as a phase difference detection pixel. 
     
     
         17 . An imaging device provided with the imaging element according to  claim 14 .
