Abstract:
The present technology relates to a solid-state imaging device and a driving method thereof, and an electronic apparatus that make it possible to improve the precision of phase difference detection while suppressing deterioration of resolution in a solid-state imaging device having a global shutter function and a phase difference AF function. Provided is a solid-state imaging device including: a pixel array unit including, as pixels including an on-chip lens, a photoelectric conversion unit, and a charge accumulation unit, imaging pixels for generating a captured image and phase difference detection pixels for performing phase difference detection arrayed therein; and a driving control unit configured to control driving of the pixels. The imaging pixel is formed with the charge accumulation unit shielded from light. The phase difference detection pixel is formed in a manner that at least part of at least one of the photoelectric conversion unit and the charge accumulation unit refrains from being shielded from light. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a CMOS image sensor.

Claim (Index 27):
The imaging device of  claim 25 , further comprising:\n a fourth light shielding portion and a fifth light shielding portion, wherein the pixel array further includes: a third phase difference detection pixel including a fourth photoelectric conversion region and a fourth charge accumulation region; and a fourth phase difference detection pixel including a fifth photoelectric conversion region and a fifth charge accumulation region, wherein the fourth light shielding portion is disposed above a light receiving surface of the fourth charge accumulation region and at least a part of a light receiving surface of the fourth photoelectric conversion region, wherein the fifth light shielding portion is disposed above a light receiving surface of the fifth charge accumulation region and at least a part of a light receiving surface of the fifth photoelectric conversion region, wherein the fourth light shielding portion includes a third opening, wherein a center of the third opening is shifted to a third side from a center of the fourth photoelectric conversion region in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and wherein the fifth light shielding portion includes a fourth opening, wherein a center of the fourth opening is shifted to a fourth side opposite to the third side from a center of the fourth photoelectric conversion region in the second direction.
