Abstract
A dye-sensitized solar cell is formed on a substrate, and a coloring material pattern is formed on the substrate in an area different from an area where the dye-sensitized solar cell is disposed. The dye-sensitized solar cell includes a positive electrode and a negative electrode disposed facing one another, and a sensitizing dye adsorption layer and an electrolyte layer both formed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The coloring material pattern transmits wavelength components of light that differ from wavelength components of light transmitted by the sensitizing dye adsorption layer.
