ABSTRACT:
An image pickup device includes a pixel unit which has first pixels and second pixels. A first photoelectric conversion unit is configured to generate charges corresponding to light incident upon each of the first pixels. A first control unit is connected to the first photoelectric conversion unit and configured to control the first photoelectric conversion unit. A second photoelectric conversion unit is configured to generate charges corresponding to light incident upon each of the second pixels. The second photoelectric conversion unit is smaller than the first photoelectric conversion unit. A second control unit is connected to the second photoelectric conversion unit and configured to control the second photoelectric conversion unit. The second control unit is arranged in a space which is generated due to a size difference between the first photoelectric conversion unit and the second photoelectric conversion unit.
