Abstract
The present disclosure provides a photoelectric conversion element including a first electrode, a second electrode, a photoelectric conversion layerbetween the first electrodeand the second electrode, and a reflection layerbetween one of the first electrodeand the second electrodeand the photoelectric conversion layer. The wavelength at which the reflectance of the reflection layeris maximum in the visible region is within the range of wavelengths in which the optical absorption coefficient of the photoelectric conversion layeris ⅕ or more of the maximum optical absorption coefficient in the visible region.
