Abstract

According to an aspect, an imaging device includes: a plurality of pixels each including a photoelectric conversion element and arranged on a same plane; a transparent electrode provided on a surface of the photoelectric conversion element; a plurality of first conductors, each of which is electrically coupled to the transparent electrode corresponding to one photoelectric conversion element at a plurality of points and provided to the transparent electrode corresponding to one photoelectric conversion element; and a second conductor that is provided between adjacent pixels and electrically couples the first conductors, and also electrically couples the first conductors between the adjacent pixels.

Claims (24)

1. An imaging device comprising:

a plurality of pixels each including a photoelectric conversion element and arranged on a same plane;

a transparent electrode provided on a surface of the photoelectric conversion element;

a plurality of first conductors, each of which is electrically coupled to the transparent electrode corresponding to one photoelectric conversion element at a plurality of points and provided to the transparent electrode corresponding to one photoelectric conversion element; and

a second conductor that is provided between adjacent pixels and electrically couples the first conductors, and also electrically couples the first conductors between the adjacent pixels.

2. The imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the pixels comprises a driving element for extracting an electric charge accumulated by the photoelectric conversion element, and

the second conductor is provided at a position overlapping with a drive line for giving the driving element a signal for driving the driving element when viewed from a direction orthogonal to a surface of the pixels.

3. The imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein

the pixels are arranged in a matrix, and

at least one of the first conductors electrically coupled to the transparent electrode corresponding to the one photoelectric conversion element is electrically coupled through a gap in a row direction and a gap in a column direction that are formed between the adjacent pixels.

4. The imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the pixels has a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view, and

each of the first conductors electrically couples the transparent electrodes provided at four corners of the pixels and present at opposed corner positions of the adjacent pixels.

5. The imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the pixels has a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view, and

the second conductor is provided between the adjacent pixels, and the first conductors that electrically couple the second conductor and the transparent electrode corresponding to one of the pixels are provided at a position where the second conductor is opposed to the pixel.

6. The imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein

one of the pixels has a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view, and

the first conductors are electrically coupled to the transparent electrodes present at at least three of four corners of the pixel.

7. An imaging display system comprising:

the imaging device according to claim 1 ;

a wavelength conversion member provided on a light incident surface side of the imaging device; and

a display device that displays an image based on an imaging signal output from the imaging device.
