Abstract: A solid state imaging device comprises a color filter, a pixel, and first and a second output lines. The color filter has color filter components of a first and second color. Each pixel is covered by the color filter component and has a photoelectric conversion element. The photoelectric conversion element generates color pixel signals according to amount of light received by the photoelectric conversion element. A first pixel is covered by the first color filter component. A first color pixel signal is generated by the first pixel. The first output line outputs only the first color pixel signal. A second pixel is covered by the second filter component. A second color pixel signal is generated by the second pixel. The second output line outputs only the second color pixel signal. The first and second pixels are arranged in two dimensions.
