Patent ID: 8513651

Claim:
A photoelectric conversion device comprising an electrically conductive film, a photoelectric conversion layer, and a transparent electrically conductive film, wherein said photoelectric conversion layer contains a fullerene or a fullerene derivative and a photoelectric conversion material having an absorption spectrum satisfying at least either the following condition (A) or (B): λ M1 <λ L1 and λ M2 <λ L2 (A) λ M1 <λ L1 and Δ|λ M1 -λ L1 |>Δ|λ M2 -λ L2 | (B) wherein λ L1 , λ L2 , λ M1 and λ M2 are the wavelength at an absorption intensity of ½ of the maximum absorption intensity in the wavelength range of from 400 to 800 nm, each of λ L1 and λ L2 represents the wavelength in a chloroform solution spectrum when said photoelectric conversion material is dissolved in chloroform, and each of λ M1 and λ M2 represents the wavelength in a thin-film absorption spectrum of said photoelectric conversion material alone, provided that λ L1 <λ L2 and λ M1 <λ M2 , and wherein the photoelectric conversion material is a triarylamine compound represented by: where Z 1 represents an atomic group necessary for forming a 5- or 6-membered ring, each of L 1 L 2 and L 3 represents an unsubstituted methine group or a substituted methine group, D 1 represents an atomic group, and n represents an integer of 0 or more.
