Some of the plurality of pixels are configured to be phase difference detection pixels that include a photoelectric conversion section disposed on a semiconductor substrate and a light blocking film disposed above a portion of the photoelectric conversion section. In particular a location of the light blocking film for the phase difference detection pixels varies according to a location of the phase difference detection pixel. For example, the location of the light blocking film for a phase difference detection pixel positioned at a periphery of the pixel region is different than a location of the light blocking film for a phase difference detection pixel positioned in a center portion of the pixel region.
