Abstract
Provided is a multilayer imaging device capable of both securing a wide sensitive region and securing an accumulated amount of charges. An imaging device according to an embodiment comprises a pixel, the pixel including a photoelectric conversion layer (); a first electrode () positioned close to a first surface of the photoelectric conversion layer and electrically connected to the photoelectric conversion layer; a second electrode () positioned on a second surface opposite to the first surface of the photoelectric conversion layer; a charge accumulation electrode () disposed close to the first surface of the photoelectric conversion layer and spaced apart from the first electrode in a direction parallel to the first surface; and a third electrode () disposed at a position to have a portion overlapping a gap between the first electrode and the charge accumulation electrode in a direction perpendicular to the first surface.
