Abstract
A photosensor including: a first electrode; a second electrode; a photoelectric conversion layer between the first electrode and the second electrode; a first charge blocking layer between the first electrode and the photoelectric conversion layer; a second charge blocking layer between the second electrode and the photoelectric conversion layer; a voltage supply circuit supplying a voltage to the second electrode such that an electric field directed from the second electrode toward the first electrode is generated in the photoelectric conversion layer; and a transistor. The first charge blocking layer suppresses movement of holes from the photoelectric conversion layer to the first electrode and movement of electrons from the first electrode to the photoelectric conversion layer, and the second charge blocking layer suppresses movement of electrons from the photoelectric conversion layer to the second electrode and movement of holes from the second electrode to the photoelectric conversion layer.
