Abstract

There is provided a solid-state imaging device and an electronic apparatus that performs focus detection and image generation on objects of various shapes. A solid-state imaging device includes a pixel array in which multiple pixels are arrayed. The multiple pixels each receive light in a predetermined wavelength band. The pixel array includes at least one or more first pixels and at least one or more second pixels. The at least one or more first pixels each include a pair of sub-pixels provided beneath one microlens. The pair of sub-pixels is aligned in a first direction. The at least one or more second pixels each include a pair of sub-pixels provided beneath one microlens. The pair of sub-pixels is aligned in a second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
