Abstract
A solid-state image sensing device includes a plurality of photoelectric conversion cells, a light-shielding member, and a plurality of openings. The photoelectric conversion cells have photoelectric converters for photoelectrically converting optical signals and are arranged in a matrix to accumulate the photoelectrically converted signal charges. The photoelectric converters are adjacent to each other at different pitches in a predetermined direction. The light-shielding member covers the photoelectric conversion cells arranged in a matrix. The openings are formed in the light-shielding member in correspondence with the photoelectric converters, and pass optical signals to the photoelectric converters. The openings are arranged at an equal interval in a predetermined direction.
