Abstract
An imaging element includes a photoelectric conversion unit formed by laminating a first electrode, a photoelectric conversion layerA, and a second electrode. Between the first electrodeand the photoelectric conversion layerA, a first semiconductor material layerBand a second semiconductor material layerBare formed from the first electrode side, and the second semiconductor material layerBis in contact with the photoelectric conversion layerA. The photoelectric conversion unit further includes an insulating layerand a charge accumulation electrodedisposed apart from the first electrodeso as to face the first semiconductor material layerBvia the insulating layer. When the carrier mobility of the first semiconductor material layerBis represented by μ, and the carrier mobility of the second semiconductor material layerBis represented by μ, μ<μis satisfied.
