There is provided an imaging device which is small in light loss, is
operable to suppress an occurrence of a stray light, and is operable to
provide an image with a high quality as far as a periphery thereof. The
imaging device operable to output an image of an object as an electrical
image signal, comprising: a solid-state imaging sensor including pixels
which are two dimensionally arranged on a first flat surface and each of
which has a photo-electric conversion function; and a lens array
including micro lenses two dimensionally arranged on a second flat
surface separately provided so as to be parallel to the first flat
surface, in which the solid-state imaging sensor includes an imaging area
of unit including a plurality of pixels, and each of the micro lenses
forms an optical image of the object on a corresponding imaging area of
unit and satisfies a predetermined condition, arctan(L/f).ltoreq..theta.,
for a pixel, from among pixels included in an imaging area of unit
corresponding to each micro lens, positioned farthest from an optical
axis of a corresponding micro lens. Here, .theta. is a maximum angle of
an incident light capable of entering a pixel, f is a focal length of a
micro lens, and L is a diameter of a circle circumscribing an imaging
area of unit corresponding to one of the micro lenses.
