Abstract:
1. A solid state image pickup device comprising: a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements respectively adapted to photoelectrically convert an incident light into charges corresponding to a received light amount, the photoelectric conversion elements being associated with, as a color of an incident light to be photoelectrically converted, any one of three primary colors, respectively, in a regular manner; a light shielding unit disposed in a light receiving surface side of a predetermined photoelectric conversion element of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements, and adapted to shield an incident light entering the predetermined photoelectric conversion element from a light receiving surface side; and a correction unit adapted to correct a received light amount of an incident light received a photoelectric conversion element associated with a color different from a color associated with the predetermined photoelectric conversion element by subtracting, from the received light amount of the photoelectric conversion element associated with the different color, a received light amount obtained by multiplying a received light amount of the incident light received by the predetermined photoelectric conversion element by a predetermined coefficient corresponding to the different color.
