Solid-state imaging device and portable information terminal

摘要

A solid-state imaging device according to an embodiment includes: an imaging element formed on a semiconductor substrate, and comprising an imaging region including a plurality of pixel blocks each including a plurality of pixels; a first optical system forming an image of an object on an imaging plane; and a second optical system comprising a microlens array including a plurality of microlenses each corresponding to one of the pixel blocks, and reducing and re-forming the image to be formed on the imaging plane on the pixel blocks corresponding to the respective microlenses. The imaging plane of the first optical system is located further away from the first optical system than the imaging element when the object is located at an infinite distance.

1. A solid-state imaging device comprising:
an imaging element formed on a semiconductor substrate, and comprising an imaging region including a plurality of pixel blocks each including a plurality of pixels; a first optical system comprising an imaging lens, the imaging lens forming an image of an object on an imaging plane; a second optical system comprising a microlens array including a plurality of microlenses each corresponding to one of the pixel blocks, the microlens array reducing and re-forming the image to be formed on the imaging plane on the pixel blocks corresponding to the respective microlenses, the microlenses being semi convex lenses having a convex shape toward the imaging element; an image signal processor that calculates a shift length of the same object from microlens images and determines a distance from the imaging lens to the same object based on the shift length; the imaging plane of the first optical system being located further away from the first optical system than the imaging element when the object is located at an infinite distance.
