Abstract

A photoelectric conversion device is disclosed. In one embodiment, the device includes i) first and second substrates facing each other, wherein first and second electrodes are formed on the first and second substrates, respectively and ii) an electrolyte inlet formed to pass through the first substrate and configured to receive an electrolyte. The device may further include an inlet sealing member connected to an external surface of the first substrate and outwardly extending from a top portion of the electrolyte inlet, wherein the top portion is formed in the external surface of the first substrate, and wherein the inlet sealing member comprises an encapsulation space being in fluid communication with the electrolyte inlet.
