IMAGING ELEMENT AND IMAGING DEVICE

To solve the problem in which: an imaging device that can set imaging conditions different for each of regions of a screen is known; however, features of such an imaging device are not utilized.SOLUTION: An imaging element has a plurality of pixels disposed on its surface and takes images of a subject. The imaging element has, among the plurality of pixels, a first pixel region that takes an image at a first exposure time to generate a first image signal and, among the plurality of pixels, a second region that takes an image at a second exposure time longer than the first exposure time to generate a second image signal from which information on the subject is extracted.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】画面の領域ごとに異なる撮像条件を設定可能な撮像装置が知られている。しかしながら、このような撮像装置の特徴を活かせていないという問題があった。【解決手段】撮像素子は、面上に複数の画素が配置され、被写体を撮像する撮像素子であって、前記複数の画素のうち、第１露光時間で撮像し第１画像信号を生成する第１画素領域と、前記複数の画素のうち、前記第１露光時間より長い第２露光時間で撮像し、前記被写体に関する情報が抽出される第２画像信号を生成する第２領域とを備える。【選択図】図６
