Original Abstract Submitted
According to one embodiment, a photoelectric conversion element includes a photoelectric conversion layer, and a first member. The first member includes a first layer and a second layer. A direction from the second layer to the first layer is along a first direction from the photoelectric conversion layer to the first member. The first layer includes a plurality of particles and an intermediate region provided in at least a part of location between the plurality of particles. The plurality of particles include at least one selected from the group consisting of oxygen and sulfur and zinc. The intermediate region includes a rare earth element. The second layer includes a metal fluoride.
