Abstract:
An imaging device includes: a first unit pixel cell including a first electrode, a second electrode facing the first electrode, a first photoelectric conversion layer between the first electrode and the second electrode, the first photoelectric conversion layer generating first signal charge, and a first signal detection circuit connected to the first electrode, the first signal detection circuit detecting the first signal charge; and a voltage supply circuit. The voltage supply circuit supplies a first voltage to the second electrode during a first period when the first unit pixel cell accumulates the first signal charge. The voltage supply circuit supplies a second voltage to at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode during a second period other than the first period, the second period including a first moment at which a difference in potential between the first electrode and the second electrode is zero.
