Abstract
An imaging device includes a first pixel and a second pixel adjacent to the first pixel. Each of the first pixel and the second pixel includes a first electrode, a second electrode positioned on or above the first electrode and facing the first electrode, a photoelectric conversion layer positioned between the first electrode and the second electrode, and a first charge-blocking layer positioned between the first electrode and the photoelectric conversion layer. The first charge-blocking layer of the first pixel is separated from the first charge-blocking layer of the second pixel. The photoelectric conversion layer is disposed continuously to the first pixel and the second pixel. An area of the first charge-blocking layer of the first pixel is larger than an area of the first electrode of the first pixel in plan view.
