Abstract:
An imaging device includes: a photoelectric converter including first and second electrodes, a photoelectric conversion layer therebetween, and an electron-blocking layer between the first electrode and the photoelectric conversion layer; and a signal detection circuit connected to the first electrode. The photoelectric converter is adapted to be applied with a voltage between the first and second electrodes. An electron-blocking material in the electron-blocking layer has an ionization potential higher than both a work function of a conducting material in the first electrode and an ionization potential of a photoelectric conversion material in the photoelectric conversion layer, which allows the photoelectric converter to have a range of the voltage within which a density of current passing between the first and second electrodes when light is incident on the photoelectric conversion layer is substantially equal to that when no light is incident. The range of the voltage is 0.5 V or more.

Claim (Index 2):
The imaging device according to  claim 1 , wherein a difference in energy between the ionization potential of the electron-blocking material and the ionization potential of the first photoelectric conversion material is 0.2 eV or more.
