  • Publication number: 20230362513
    Abstract: An imaging sensor including: a plurality of photoelectric conversion units provided in a first direction and a second direction different from the first direction and configured to generate electric charges through photoelectric conversion; signal lines each of which is wired in the second direction and to which signals based on the electric charges generated by the photoelectric conversion units are output; and processing units configured to process the signals output to the signal lines, wherein, in a second region between a first region in which the plurality of photoelectric conversion units are provided in the first direction and the second direction and a plurality of the processing units, a plurality of the signal lines are adjacent to each other in at least one of the second direction and a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction.
