Abstract

A photoelectric conversion element includes an insulating film, a first electrode, a light receiving layer, and a second electrode. The first electrode is formed on the insulating film and is made of titanium oxynitride. The light receiving layer is formed on the first electrode and includes an organic material. A composition of the first electrode just before forming the light receiving layer meets (1) a requirement that an amount of oxygen contained in the whole of the first electrode is 75 atm % or more of an amount of titanium, or (2) a requirement that in a range of from the substrate side of the first electrode to 10 nm or a range of from the substrate side of the first electrode to ⅔ of the thickness of the first electrode, an amount of oxygen is 40 atm % or more of an amount of titanium.
