Patent ID: 7728902

Claim:
An imaging device comprising: a photoreceptor portion including a plurality of photoreceptors arranged in an array; microlenses arranged corresponding to the plurality of photoreceptors; and a light shielding layer placed between the photoreceptor portion and the microlenses and having apertures located corresponding to the plurality of photoreceptors, wherein a relationship of an actual length d 1 of an aperture width of the apertures on a side of the photoreceptors, an actual length p of a distance between adjacent microlenses, an equivalent air length t 0 of a distance between an object and a top of the microlenses, and an equivalent air length t 1 of a thickness between the top of the microlenses and an aperture position of the apertures on the side of the photoreceptors satisfies: 1.36 × t ⁢ ⁢ 1 p ≤ d ⁢ ⁢ 1 ≤ 2.4 × t ⁢ ⁢ 1 p + p × t ⁢ ⁢ 1 t ⁢ ⁢ 0 .
