Abstract:
1. A single-plate color imaging element including: multiple pixels including photoelectric conversion elements arrayed in a first direction and a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction; and color filters which are respectively arrayed on the multiple pixels, wherein: an array of the color filters includes a basic array pattern in which the color filters are arrayed in an array pattern corresponding to N×N (N is a natural number equal to or greater than 3) pixels in the first direction and the second direction, and the array is formed by repeatedly disposing the basic array pattern in the first direction and the second direction; the color filters include a first filter corresponding to a first color of one or more colors and second filters corresponding to second colors of two or more colors whose contribution ratio to acquire a brightness signal is lower than that of the first color, and a ratio of all pixel numbers of the first color corresponding to the first filter is larger than a ratio of a pixel number of each color of the second colors corresponding to the second filters; the basic array pattern includes a first filter array of one line formed by arraying the first filter along the first direction and second filter arrays of two or more lines formed by arraying the first filter and the second filter corresponding to each color of the second colors along the first direction; one or more first filters are disposed in a filter line in each direction including the first direction and the second direction of the array of the color filters, and a third direction and a fourth direction that incline to the first direction and the second direction; and one or more second filters of at least one color among each color of the second colors are disposed in a filter line in the second direction of the basic array pattern, wherein: a position of the second filter of an identical color in each of the second filter array of two lines of the basic array pattern is shifted by one-pixel interval in the first direction and disposed; and in at least one filter line among each filter line in the second direction in the basic array pattern, one or more second filters corresponding to each color of the second colors are disposed.
