Abstract
A photoelectric conversion device includes: an element substrate having a first electrode, a photoelectric conversion layer, and a second electrode, the photoelectric conversion layer being provided above the first electrode and performing charge separation by energy of irradiated light, and the second electrode being provided above the photoelectric conversion layer; a counter substrate facing the element substrate; and a sealing layer provided between the element substrate and the counter substrate. The element substrate, the counter substrate, and the sealing layer define a sealing region sealing the photoelectric conversion layer. The element substrate further has: an impurity detection layer in contact with the second electrode inside the sealing region and causing chemical reaction with an impurity containing at least one of oxygen and water; and a third electrode in contact with the impurity detection layer and extending to the outside of the sealing region.
