Claim 0:
1. An imaging apparatus, comprising:
an imaging element block, including:
a first electrode;
a photoelectric conversion layer;
a second electrode;
a first imaging element, including:
an insulating layer; and
a first charge storage electrode,
wherein a first portion of the photoelectric conversion layer is between the insulating layer of the first imaging element and a first portion of the second electrode, and
wherein the insulating layer of the first imaging element is between the first charge storage electrode of the first imaging element and the first portion of the photoelectric conversion layer; and

a second imaging element, including:
the insulating layer; and
a second charge storage electrode,
wherein a second portion of the photoelectric conversion layer is between the insulating layer of the second imaging element and a second portion of the second electrode,
wherein the insulating layer of the second imaging element is between the second charge storage electrode of the second imaging element and the second portion of the photoelectric conversion layer,
wherein the first electrode is shared by the first imaging element and the second imaging element,
wherein the first charge storage electrode of the first imaging element is spaced apart from the first electrode and disposed such that a portion of the insulating layer of the first imaging element is between the first charge storage electrode of the first imaging element and the first electrode, and
wherein the second charge storage electrode of the second imaging element is spaced apart from the first electrode and disposed such that a portion of the insulating layer of the second imaging element is between the second charge storage electrode of the second imaging element and the first electrode.
