Abstract

An imaging device includes: pixels that are disposed in a row direction and a column direction and that include a first pixel and a second pixel adjacent to the first pixel along the row direction; a shield electrode located between the first pixel and the second pixel; a first shield via that extends from the shield electrode. The first pixel includes: a first photoelectric conversion layer that converts incident light to generate charge; and a first pixel electrode that collects the charge generated thereby. The second pixel includes: a second photoelectric conversion layer that converts incident light to generate charge; and a second pixel electrode that collects the charge generated thereby. The shield electrode is electrically isolated from the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode, and the first shield via is located between the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode in a plan view.
