Abstract
A light-receiving device includes at least one pixel. The at least one pixel includes a first electrode; a second electrode; and a photoelectric conversion layer between the first electrode and the second electrode. The photoelectric conversion layer is configured to convert incident infrared light into electric charge. The photoelectric conversion layer has a first section and a second section. The first section is closer to the first electrode than the second section, and the second section is closer to the second electrode than the first section. At least one of the first section and the second section have a plurality of surfaces.
