Abstract
A solid state imaging device includes: a group of a plurality of pixels configured to include pixels of the same color coding and with no pixel sharing between each other; and a color filter that is formed by Bayer arrangement of the group of a plurality of pixels.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A solid state imaging device, comprising:
a group of a plurality of pixels configured to include pixels of the same color coding and with no pixel sharing between each other; and a color filter that is formed by Bayer arrangement of the group of a plurality of pixels.
2 . The solid state imaging device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the group of a plurality of pixels includes pixels with no pixel sharing between each other.
3 . The solid state imaging device according to claim 2 ,
wherein a unit of the pixel sharing is 2×2 pixels.
4 . The solid state imaging device according to claim 1 ,
wherein at least a half of the group of a plurality of pixels is pixels with no pixel sharing between each other.
5 . The solid state imaging device according to claim 4 ,
wherein a unit of the pixel sharing is 2×4 pixels.
6 . The solid state imaging device according to claim 4 ,
wherein a unit of the pixel sharing is 1×4 pixels.
7 . The solid state imaging device according to claim 1 ,
wherein a defective pixel generated in a unit of the pixel sharing is corrected using pixels in the group of a plurality of pixels.
8 . The solid state imaging device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the group of a plurality of pixels includes four pixels.
9 . The solid state imaging device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the color coding is a coding of primary color checker.
10 . The solid state imaging device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the color coding is a coding of WRGB.
11 . A signal processing device, comprising:
a correction processing unit that corrects a defective pixel generated in a pixel sharing unit, in an output signal output from a solid state imaging device including a group of a plurality of pixels configured to include pixels of the same color coding and with no pixel sharing between each other and a color filter formed by Bayer arrangement of the group of a plurality of pixels, using pixels in the group of a plurality of pixels.
12 . The solid state imaging device according to claim 11 ,
wherein the correction processing unit corrects a defective pixel generated in the pixel sharing unit using pixels in the group of a plurality of pixels according to the number of defective pixels generated in the pixel sharing unit.
13 . The solid state imaging device according to claim 11 ,
wherein the correction processing unit corrects a defective pixel generated in the pixel sharing unit using all pixels in the group of a plurality of pixels.
14 . The solid state imaging device according to claim 11 ,
wherein the correction processing unit corrects a defective pixel generated in the pixel sharing unit using data in the group of a plurality of pixels according to storage time of the defective pixel generated in the pixel sharing unit.
15 . An electronic apparatus, comprising:
a solid state imaging device that includes a group of a plurality of pixels configured to include pixels of the same color coding and with no pixel sharing between each other and a color filter formed by Bayer arrangement of the group of a plurality of pixels; an optical system that makes incident light be incident on the solid state imaging device; and a signal processing circuit that processes an output signal output from the solid state imaging device.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
