Patent ID: 8339488

Claim:
A solid-state image pickup device, comprising: photoelectric conversion parts on an image pickup surface of a substrate, where each photoelectric conversion part is configured to generate a signal charge by receiving incident light on a light reception surface thereof; and color filters on an image-pickup surface of the substrate, where each color filter allows said incident light to be colored by passing through, wherein, said photoelectric conversion parts include a plurality of photoelectric conversion parts being arranged in a first direction on said image pickup surface and a plurality of photoelectric conversion parts being arranged in second direction opposite to said first direction on the image pickup surface, a distance between said light reception surfaces of said plurality of photoelectric conversion parts in said second direction is higher than that of said plurality of photoelectric conversion parts in said first direction, said color filter includes at least a first color filter, a second color filter, and a third color filter, said first color filter is located above said light reception surface, and said optical transmittance thereof is high at a first wavelength range, said second color layer is located above said light reception surface and next to said first color filter in said first direction, and said optical transmittance thereof is high at a second wavelength range which is different from that of said first wavelength range, and said third color filter is located above said light reception surface and next to said first color filter in said second direction, and optical transmittance of said third color filter is high at a third wavelength range which is different from that of each of said first and second wavelength ranges, where a surface on which said first color filter and said second color filter are laminated in said first direction is larger than a surface on which said first color filter and said third color filter are laminated in said second direction.
