Claim Text:
1. A solid-state imaging apparatus comprising a substrate on which a plurality of photoelectric conversion portions are arranged, a light-shielding member arranged on one side of the substrate, and a wiring member arranged on other side of the substrate, and including a plurality of pixels arrayed in a matrix and each corresponding to any one of a plurality of openings provided in the light-shielding member, wherein each of the plurality of pixels includes the photoelectric conversion portion and a lens arranged on the one side of the substrate, the light-shielding member is provided to locate the opening corresponding to each pixel between a surface of the lens which is on a side opposite to the photoelectric conversion portion in each pixel and the photoelectric conversion portion, the plurality of pixels include a first pixel of an mth row×an nth column, a second pixel of an (m+1)th row×an (n+1)th column, and a third pixel of the mth row×the (n+1)th column, where m and n are natural numbers, the plurality of openings include a first opening corresponding to the first pixel, a second opening corresponding to the second pixel, and a third opening corresponding to the third pixel, a distance between the first opening and the second opening is larger than that between the first opening and the third opening, the lens in the first pixel and the lens in the second pixel are separated from each other through a dielectric member with a refractive index different from that of the lens in the first pixel and that of the lens in the second pixel, and the dielectric member contacts a portion between the first opening and the second opening of the light-shielding member.
