Patent ID: 8338691

Claim:
An imaging device comprising a photoelectric conversion element, said photoelectric conversion element comprising: an electrically conductive thin layer; an organic photoelectric conversion layer; and a transparent electrically conductive thin layer, wherein the organic photoelectric conversion layer contains: a compound represented by formula (I); and a fullerene or a fullerene derivative: wherein Z 1 represents an atomic group necessary for forming a 5- or 6-membered ring, L 1 , L 2 and L 3 each independently 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; wherein D 1 is represented by formula (III): wherein R 11 to R 14 , R 20 to R 24 and R 30 to R 34 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent, and R 11 to R 14 , R 20 to R 24 or R 30 to R 34 may combine together to form a ring.
