Abstract
Abstract A color photosensitive device includes a transparent base plate and a lamination of alternate layers of transparent conductive films and photoelectric conversion layers. The photoelectric conversion layers are sensitive to light of increasing wavelength as the distance from the base plate increases. The photoelectric conversion layers comprise amorphous silicone and the transparent conductive films comprise an oxide of indium, tin, or the like.
