Abstract
A photoelectric conversion element includes a first electrode (13), a photoelectric conversion layer (16) over the first electrode, and a second electrode (18) over the photoelectric conversion layer. The photoelectric conversion element further includes a surface protection portion (19) adjacent to a face of one electrode selected from the first electrode and the second electrode where the face does not face the photoelectric conversion layer. The surface protection portion contains a compound derived from a fluorine-based silane compound.

A photoelectric conversion element, comprising:
- a first electrode;
- a photoelectric conversion layer over the first electrode;
- a second electrode over the photoelectric conversion layer;
- and
- a surface protection portion adjacent to a face of the second electrode where the face does not face the photoelectric conversion layer,
- the surface protection portion containing a compound derived from a fluorine-based silane compound having at least one alkoxysilyl group;
- and
- a sealing member comprising an adhesive member and a gas barrier member, wherein said adhesive member adheres to a surface of said surface protection portion where the surface does not face the second electrode,
- wherein the fluorine-based silane compound having at least one alkoxysilyl group is a compound represented by General Formula (A) below, and a molecular weight of the fluorine-based silane compound having at least one alkoxysilyl group is 1.000 or lower:
- CF3(CH2)q—O(CF2CF2O)m(CF2)p(CH2)nSiR1(3-a)(OR2)a General Formula (A)
- where in the General Formula (A),
- R1 and R2 each independently represent a monovalent hydrocarbon group having carbon atoms of 1 or more but 4 or less,
- a represents an integer of 2 or 3,
- p represents an integer of 1 or 2,
- q represents an integer of 0 or greater but 5 or smaller,
- m represents an integer of 1 or greater but 3 or smaller,
- n represents an integer of 2 or greater but 4 or smaller, and
- p+q+2m+n represents an integer of 5 or greater but 14 or smaller.
