Solid state color imaging apparatus.

摘要

In a solid state color imaging apparatus comprising
<UnorderedLists id="ula01" listStyle="none"><ListItem>a solid state photoelectric device (11) having an array of picture element,</ListItem><ListItem>a color filter (12) fixed in front of said solid state photoelectric device,</ListItem></UnorderedLists>
the improvement is that
said color filter has filter elements of a first complementary color (cy), filter elements of a second complementary color (ye) and substantially transparent parts (tr).

The apparatus has, by use of complementary color filter elements, a high light utility efficiency which is about 9 dB higher efficiency than the conventional color filter consisting of elementary color filter elements, and hence has a higher S/N ratio.
