Abstract
An imaging element includes a photoelectric conversion unit including a first electrode, a photoelectric conversion layer, and a second electrodethat are stacked, in which the photoelectric conversion unit further includes a charge storage electrodearranged apart from the first electrodeand arranged to face the photoelectric conversion layerthrough an insulating layer, and when photoelectric conversion occurs in the photoelectric conversion layerafter light enters the photoelectric conversion layer, an absolute value of a potential applied to a partof the photoelectric conversion layerfacing the charge storage electrodeis a value larger than an absolute value of a potential applied to a regionof the photoelectric conversion layerpositioned between the imaging element and an adjacent imaging element.
