Abstract
An imaging device includes a pixel, the pixel including a photoelectric converter which converts light into a signal charge and a charge detection circuit which detects the signal charge. The photoelectric converter includes a photoelectric conversion layer having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, a pixel electrode on the first surface, a first electrode adjacent to the pixel electrode on the first surface, the first electrode being electrically conductive to the photoelectric conversion layer, and a counter electrode on the second surface, the counter electrode facing the pixel electrode and the first electrode. A shortest distance between the pixel electrode and the first electrode in a plan view is smaller than a shortest distance between the pixel electrode and the first electrode.
