Patent ID: 8053661

Claim:
A 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 having a partial structure represented by formula (I) and a fullerene or a fullerene derivative: wherein X represents O, S or N—R 10 , and R 10 represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent; R x and R y each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent, at least one of R x and R y represents an electron-withdrawing group, and R x and R y may combine to form a ring; R represents a bond, a hydrogen atom or a substituent, and at least one R is a bond; nr represents an integer of 1 to 4, R's may be the same or different when nr is 2 or more, and R's at the 2- and 3-positions or R's at the 5- and 6-positions may combine with each other to form a ring.
