    摘要: The invention is to suppress a loss in image quality resulting from a sensitivity difference among different colors and to suppress an increase in a chip area. The invention provides for example an image sensor including three light detecting element rows respectively having R, G and B color filters on light detecting apertures, in which the light detecting element in the G light detecting element row has a light detecting area larger than that of the light detecting element in other B and R light detecting element rows and centers of gravity of light detecting parts of the light detecting elements in the respective light detecting element rows are arranged with a constant pitch (pitch Q) among the light detecting element rows and in which the G light detecting element row with a larger light detecting area in the light detecting element is not positioned as an end row among the R, G and B light detecting element rows but as a central light detecting element row.
