    Abstract: An imaging device includes: a first pixel array including a first photoelectric converter and first pixel electrodes connected to the first photoelectric converter; and a second pixel array including a second photoelectric converter and second pixel electrodes connected to the second photoelectric converter. The first pixel array and the second pixel array are stacked one on another. In a plan view, an area of an overlapping region defined by overlapping between the first pixel electrodes and a corresponding second pixel electrode of the second pixel electrodes is smaller than an area of a remaining region obtained by excluding the overlapping region from the corresponding second pixel electrode.

    Abstract: An imaging device includes a first pixel and a second pixel adjacent to the first pixel. Each of the first pixel and the second pixel includes a first electrode, a second electrode positioned on or above the first electrode and facing the first electrode, a photoelectric conversion layer positioned between the first electrode and the second electrode, and a first charge-blocking layer positioned between the first electrode and the photoelectric conversion layer. The first charge-blocking layer of the first pixel is separated from the first charge-blocking layer of the second pixel. The photoelectric conversion layer is disposed continuously to the first pixel and the second pixel. An area of the first charge-blocking layer of the first pixel is larger than an area of the first electrode of the first pixel in plan view.

    Abstract: An imaging device includes a photoelectric converter including first and second electrodes, a photoelectric conversion layer therebetween, and a hole-blocking layer between the first electrode and the photoelectric conversion layer; and a signal detection circuit electrically connected to the first electrode. The hole-blocking material has an electron affinity lower than both a work function of the first conducting material and an electron affinity of the first photoelectric conversion material. The photoelectric conversion unit is applied with a voltage between the first and second electrodes, and responsive to the voltage within a range from a first voltage to a second voltage, shows that a density of current passing between the first and second electrodes when light is incident on the photoelectric conversion layer becomes substantially equal to that when no light is incident thereon. A difference between the first voltage and the second voltage is 0.5 V or more.

    Abstract: A control method for an imaging element is a control method for an imaging element including a photoelectric converter and a peripheral circuit connected to the photoelectric converter. The control method for the imaging element includes receiving a predetermined input signal, and controlling the imaging element by switching between a normal imaging mode and a low power consumption mode based on the predetermined input signal. In the normal imaging mode, the imaging element is controlled to apply first voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode. In the low power consumption mode, the imaging element is controlled to apply second voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode and to stop part of operation of the peripheral circuit, the second voltage being larger than 0 V and smaller than the first voltage.

    Abstract: A photoelectric conversion element includes a photoelectric conversion layer, a first electrode that collects holes generated in the photoelectric conversion layer, and a second electrode that is positioned opposite to the first electrode with the photoelectric conversion layer being disposed therebetween and that collects electrons generated in the photoelectric conversion layer. The photoelectric conversion layer includes a first quantum dot layer including first quantum dots each having a surface modified with a first ligand and includes a second quantum dot layer including second quantum dots each having a surface modified with a second ligand different from the first ligand. The second quantum dot layer has an ionization potential greater than an ionization potential of the first quantum dot layer. A second value that represents a particle diameter distribution of the second quantum dots is less than a first value that represents a particle diameter distribution of the first quantum dots.
