An image pickup device includes a plurality of first electrodes, a second electrode, a third electrode, a photoelectric conversion layer, a plurality of signal reading portions, at least one of electric potential adjusting portions. The plurality of first electrodes is arranged on an upper side of a substrate in two dimensions with a predetermined gap interposed between one of the first electrodes and another first electrode adjacent to the one of the first electrode. The second electrode is arranged next to the first electrodes arranged on an outermost side of the first electrodes with the predetermined gap interposed between the first electrodes arranged on the outermost side and the second electrode. The third electrode faces both of the plurality of first electrodes and the second electrode. The photoelectric conversion layer is disposed between the plurality of first electrodes and the second electrode and the third electrode. The plurality of signal reading portions is connected to the plurality of first electrodes and reads out signals corresponding to electric charge that is generated in the photoelectric conversion layer and moved to the plurality of first electrodes. The at least one of plurality electric potential adjusting portions that is connected to the second electrode and adjusts electric potential of the second electrode such that the electric potential of the second electrode determined in accordance with electric charge that is generated in the photoelectric conversion layer and moved to the second electrode is not beyond a predetermined range. |
