Abstract
A photoelectric conversion device comprises a photoelectric conversion layer; a plurality of structures made of a dielectric substance; and a medium layer for transmitting light interposed between the photoelectric conversion layer and the structures or between the structures, or both, wherein the plurality of structures and the medium layer satisfy n>nand D×n/λ<0.3, wherein λis a maximal sensitivity wavelength at which the sensitivity of the photoelectric conversion layer to light energy is maximal, nis a refractive index of the medium layer at the wavelength λ, nis a refractive index of the structures at the wavelength λ, and Dis an average of shortest distances between an light exposure surface of the photoelectric conversion layer and the structures.
