Abstract
An imaging device includes at least one first pixel electrode, at least one second pixel electrode, a photoelectric converter continuously covering upper surfaces of the at least one first pixel electrode and the at least one second pixel electrode, a first counter electrode facing the at least one first pixel electrode, a second counter electrode facing the at least one second pixel electrode, and a sealing layer continuously covering upper surfaces of the first and second counter electrodes. In a plan view, a first portion of an upper surface of the photoelectric converter in an interelectrode region between the first counter electrode and the second counter electrode is more depressed than a second portion of the upper surface of the photoelectric converter in an overlap region overlapping the first counter electrode or the second counter electrode. The sealing layer is in contact with the photoelectric converter in the interelectrode region.
