Color imaging device and an imaging apparatus

The present invention provides improved color imaging element and an imaging device of phase difference detection pixels with the interpolation accuracy. The imaging device comprising: a color filter array pattern repeatedly disposed substantially square array pattern of the first array of 3 × 3 pixels and the second array pattern are arranged in point symmetry is obtained; a first phase difference detection pixels arranged in the following positions: a first array pattern in the two groups and the second array pattern of a basic array pattern in a first array pattern and the second set of arrangement patterns in at least one of a pixel in the four corners of the pattern corresponding to the arrangement position; a second phase difference detection pixels arranged in a position: the first array pattern in the first retarder constituting the basic array pattern detection pixels adjacent in the vertical direction and a second array pattern substantially array pattern in the first retarder array pattern detection pixels arranged in the horizontal direction at a position a arrangement pattern of the four corners in the same position corresponding to the pixel.
