  • Patent number: 12250475
    Abstract: A filter array according to one aspect of the present disclosure is provided with filters arranged two-dimensionally. The filters include multiple types of first filters having mutually different transmission spectra, of which each transmission spectrum includes first peaks, and multiple types of second filters having mutually different transmission spectra, of which each transmission spectrum includes one or more second peaks. The number of the first peaks in the transmission spectrum of each of the multiple types of first filters is greater than the number of the one or more second peaks in the transmission spectrum of each of the multiple types of second filters, and the multiple types of first filters and the multiple types of second filters are disposed in a mixed arrangement.
