    Abstract: Thermoelectric conversion cells of a thermoelectric conversion element include a thermoelectric conversion layer formed on a main surface of a substrate, an insulating layer covering the thermoelectric conversion layer, a first electrode including a first layer and a second layer, and a second electrode. The first layer connects to the main surface of the thermoelectric conversion layer via a first contact hole, and the second layer covers the first layer. The second electrode connects to the main surface of the thermoelectric conversion layer via a second contact hole. The second layer and the second electrode, and the first layer are formed from materials having different work functions. In thermoelectric conversion cells that are adjacent to each other, the second layer of one of the thermoelectric conversion cells and the second electrode of the other of the thermoelectric conversion cells are formed integrally, and the thermoelectric conversion cells are connected in series.

    Abstract: A microdevice includes: a microchannel to which a measurement target solution containing a measurement target substance is introduced; an antibody being fixed to at least one sidewall surface of the microchannel and specifically binding to the measurement target substance; a fluorescence-labeled derivative being specifically bound to the antibody and being acquired by fluorescence-labeling the measurement target substance; and a light blocker blocking excitation light exciting fluorescent light radiated by the fluorescence-labeled derivative. The measurement target substance and the fluorescence-labeled derivative specifically bind to the antibody in a competitive manner, and the antibody is fixed to the sidewall surface of the microchannel in a state of specifically binding to the fluorescence-labeled derivative. The light blocker blocks the excitation light entering the fluorescence-labeled derivative specifically binding to the antibody.

    Abstract: An imaging device includes a substrate, photodiode semiconductor layers on the substrate, an upper electrode and a lower electrode sandwiching the photodiode semiconductor layers, and a non-light-transmissive line included in a layer upper than the upper electrode, defining the substrate as the lowermost layer. The photodiode semiconductor layers include a first semiconductor layer, and a second semiconductor layer located between the first semiconductor layer and the lower electrode. The photodiode semiconductor layers have a groove in which the first semiconductor layer is removed in a region covered with the non-light-transmissive line in a planar view. A region overlapping the groove in the planar view does not include the upper electrode. The region overlapping the groove in the planar view includes a part of the second semiconductor layer and a part of the lower electrode.

    Abstract: An image sensor includes pixels arrayed on a substrate and a data line that transmits a signal read from each of the pixels. The pixel includes a photodetector and an N-type switch thin film transistor between the photodetector and the data line. The switch thin film transistor includes an oxide semiconductor part, a gate electrode, a drain electrode towards the data line, and a source electrode towards the photodetector. An overlap region where the gate electrode and the drain electrode overlap in a plan view is smaller than an overlap region where the gate electrode and the source electrode overlap in a plan view.

    Abstract: A display device includes a substrate and a plurality of first light-emitting elements having a microcavity structure on the substrate. Each of the plurality of first light-emitting elements includes a first light-emitting film and a first upper electrode and a first lower electrode sandwiching the first light-emitting film. The peak wavelength of an emission spectrum of the first light-emitting film is in a wavelength range where the luminosity curve slopes negatively. Within a wavelength range where the peak wavelength of a multiple interference spectrum caused by the microcavity structure varies when the viewing angle varies from 0° to 60°, the luminosity curve slopes negatively, and the emission spectrum slopes positively.
