Patent ID: 8226854

Claim:
A photoelectric conversion device comprising a pair of electrodes; and a photoelectric conversion layer disposed between the pair of electrodes, wherein the photoelectric conversion layer comprises a compound represented by formula (2): wherein Y represents O, N(Ra), Se or C(Rb)(Rc); Ra, Rb and Rc each independently represents an alkyl group, an alkenyl group or an aryl group; R 0 represents a substituent; m0 represents an integer of 2; R 1 and R 2 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an aryl group or a heterocyclic group; L 13 and L 14 each represents a methine group which may have a substituent or may form a ring with another methine group or R 1 ; n1 represents an integer of 0 to 4 and when n1 is an integer of 2 or more, plural L 13 's may be the same or different from each other L 13 and plural L 14 's may be the same or different from each other; M1 represents an ion for neutralizing an electric charge of the compound; and m1 represents a number necessary for neutralization of the electric charge, wherein R 0 's are bonded with each other to form a benzene ring.
