[0034] Unless otherwise defined herein, “heteroaryl group” means that the ring contains at least one heteroatom selected from the group consisting of N, O, S, Se, Te, P, and Si, instead of carbon (C). When the heteroaryl group is a fusion ring, at least one of the rings forming the heteroaryl group may have a heteroatom, and each of the rings may have a heteroatom. In this specification, unless otherwise defined, “ring” means an aromatic ring, a non-aromatic ring, a heteroaromatic ring, a heteronon-aromatic ring, a fusion ring of these, and / or combination thereof. The aromatic ring is as described above, and the non-aromatic ring can be a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 30 carbon atoms, a cycloalkenyl group having 3 to 30 carbon atoms, or a cycloalkynyl group having 3 to 30 carbon atoms. Unless otherwise defined herein, “halogen” can be any one of F, Cl, Br, and I, and a haloalkyl group is one in which at least one hydrogen of an alkyl group is substituted with a halogen, and can be a perfluoroalkyl group such as -CF3.

[0036] Materials that absorb long-wavelength light, such as near-infrared light, are preferable to have a small HOMO-LUMO bandgap energy. To achieve a small bandgap energy, the conjugate length needs to be increased, but a longer conjugate length presents a problem in that it becomes difficult to apply the deposition process. The near-infrared absorbing material represented by chemical formula 1 consists of a conjugated core (Ar-containing ring in chemical formula 1) with electron-accepting properties and an aromatic fusion ring (Ar-containing ring) with electron-donating properties. 1 -(N(R 1 ) and L 1 (ring containing)-Ar 3 ) and (Ar 2 -(N(R 2 ) and L 2 (ring containing)-Ar 4 Due to its "donor-acceptor-donor" structure in which ) are bonded, it has strong charge transfer characteristics and a low bandgap energy, allowing it to effectively absorb light in the near-infrared wavelength region. Furthermore, it has excellent thermal stability and is suitable for vapor deposition processes. Therefore, layers and / or structures containing near-infrared absorbing materials can have improved sensitivity and / or absorbance to near-infrared wavelength light. A device (e.g., a sensor) configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (convert to an electrical signal, e.g., photoelectric conversion) near-infrared light can have improved performance and efficiency by, for example, including a near-infrared absorbing material in an active layer configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (convert to an electrical signal, e.g., photoelectric conversion) the near-infrared light.

[0053] Near-infrared absorbers can absorb light in the near-infrared wavelength range, and their peak absorption wavelength (λ) is the peak absorption wavelength of the near-infrared absorber. max ) may be, for example, approximately 750 nm or more, for example, approximately 770 nm or more, for example, approximately 780 nm or more, for example, approximately 790 nm or more, for example, approximately 800 nm or more, for example, approximately 810 nm or more, for example, approximately 820 nm or more, or approximately 830 nm or more. The peak absorption wavelength of the near-infrared absorbing material may, for example, belong to the wavelength region of approximately 750 nm to 3000 nm, and within that range, it may belong to the wavelength region of approximately 750 nm to 2500 nm, approximately 780 nm to 2200 nm, approximately 790 nm to 2100 nm, approximately 800 nm to 2000 nm, approximately 810 nm to 2000 nm, approximately 820 nm to 2000 nm, or approximately 830 nm to 2000 nm.

[0054] Near-infrared absorbing materials can exhibit good charge transfer characteristics, which in turn allows them to absorb light (e.g., selectively) and convert it into electrical signals (e.g., photoelectric conversion). Therefore, they can be effectively used as photoelectric conversion materials in photoelectric devices. Therefore, for example, a photoelectric element that includes a near-infrared absorbing material in its active layer and / or charge auxiliary layer (for example, the active layer 30 and / or charge auxiliary layers 40, 45 shown in Figures 1 and 2) can have improved performance and / or efficiency, for example, by including a near-infrared absorbing material, it can have improved performance and / or efficiency in relation to realizing the photoelectric conversion of incident near-infrared light. Near-infrared absorbing materials have good heat resistance and can prevent or reduce thermal decomposition during deposition, allowing for repeated deposition. Near-infrared absorbing materials can be deposited by thermal deposition or vacuum deposition, for example, by sublimation. For example, sublimation deposition can be confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). When performing thermogravimetric analysis at a pressure of approximately 10 Pa or less, the temperature at which a 10% weight reduction relative to the initial weight occurs may be approximately 400°C or lower, for example, approximately 390°C or lower, approximately 380°C or lower, or approximately 370°C or lower. For example, when thermogravimetric analysis is performed on a near-infrared absorbing material at a pressure of approximately 10 Pa or less, the temperature at which a 10% weight loss occurs relative to the initial weight may be approximately 230°C to 400°C.

[0055] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a near-infrared absorbing / blocking film containing a near-infrared absorbing material. The near-infrared absorbing / blocking film of the present invention can be applied to a variety of fields where absorption characteristics in the near-infrared wavelength range are required. Since near-infrared absorbing materials simultaneously possess both absorption and photoelectric properties in the near-infrared wavelength range, they can be effectively used as photoelectric conversion materials.

[0056] Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic configuration of a photoelectric element according to one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 1, a photoelectric element 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a first electrode 10 and a second electrode 20 facing each other, and an active layer 30 disposed between the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 20.

[0057] The substrate (not shown) is positioned on the side of the first electrode 10 and on the side of the second electrode 20. The substrate can be manufactured from, for example, an inorganic material such as glass, an organic material such as polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polyamide, polyethersulfone, or a combination thereof, or a silicon wafer. The circuit board may be omitted. One of the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 20 is the anode, and the other is the cathode. For example, the first electrode 10 is the anode, and the second electrode 20 is the cathode.

[0058] At least one of the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 20 may be a light-transmitting electrode, which can be manufactured from a conductive oxide such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), zinc oxide (ZnO), tin oxide (SnO), aluminum tin oxide (AlTO), and fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO), or from a thin single or multiple layer metal film. If one of the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 20 is an opaque electrode, it can be manufactured from an opaque conductor such as aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), or gold (Au). For example, both the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 20 can be transparent electrodes. For example, the second electrode 20 may be a light-receiving electrode located on the light-receiving side.

[0059] The active layer 30 is a layer in which a p-type semiconductor and an n-type semiconductor form a pn junction. It receives light from the outside (for example, outside the active layer 30) to generate an exciton, and then separates the generated exciton into holes and electrons. p-type semiconductors and n-type semiconductors are light-absorbing materials that absorb (e.g., selectively absorb) light in at least a certain wavelength range, and near-infrared absorbing materials are used as either p-type or n-type semiconductors. For example, near-infrared absorbing materials are used as p-type semiconductors and include fullerene or fullerene derivatives as n-type semiconductors. Therefore, the active layer 30 may at least partially include the aforementioned near-infrared absorbing material (for example, a near-infrared absorbing material and a fullerene or fullerene derivative). Furthermore, the peak absorption wavelength (λ) of the active layer 30 is also present. max) may be, for example, about 750 nm or more, for example, about 770 nm or more, for example, about 780 nm or more, for example, about 790 nm or more, for example, about 800 nm or more, for example, about 810 nm or more, for example, about 820 nm or more, or about 830 nm or more. The peak absorption wavelength of the near-infrared absorbing material is, for example, in the wavelength range of approximately 750 nm to 3000 nm, and within that range, it may belong to the wavelength range of approximately 750 nm to 2500 nm, approximately 780 nm to 2200 nm, approximately 790 nm to 2100 nm, approximately 800 nm to 2000 nm, approximately 810 nm to 2000 nm, approximately 820 nm to 2000 nm, or approximately 830 nm to 2000 nm. The active layer 30 and the photoelectric element 100 containing it can have improved near-infrared absorption characteristics (e.g., improved sensitivity to light in the near-infrared wavelength region, improved absorptiveness to light in the near-infrared region, etc.), thereby enabling improved photoelectric conversion performance and / or efficiency and / or improved thermal stability based on the active layer containing the aforementioned near-infrared absorbing material. In one embodiment, the active layer 30 may be a near-infrared absorbing / blocking film containing a near-infrared absorbing material.

[0060] The active layer 30 may include an intrinsic layer in which the aforementioned near-infrared absorbing material (e.g., p-type semiconductor) and fullerene or a fullerene derivative (e.g., n-type semiconductor) are co-deposited. In this case, the p-type semiconductor and the n-type semiconductor may be included in a volume ratio of about 1:9 to 9:1, or within that range, for example, in a volume ratio of about 2:8 to 8:2, or within that range, for example, in a volume ratio of about 3:7 to 7:3, or within that range, for example, in a volume ratio of about 4:6 to 6:4, or within that range, for example, in a volume ratio of about 5:5.

[0061] The active layer 30 may further include a p-type layer and / or an n-type layer in addition to the intrinsic layer. The p-type layer may contain the aforementioned near-infrared absorbing material (e.g., a p-type semiconductor), and the n-type layer may contain the aforementioned n-type semiconductor. For example, it can be included in various combinations such as p-type layer / I-type layer, I-type layer / n-type layer, p-type layer / I-type layer / n-type layer, etc. The photoelectric element 100 may further include auxiliary layers (not shown) disposed between the first electrode 10 and the active layer 30 and / or between the second electrode 20 and the active layer 30. The auxiliary layer may be a charge auxiliary layer or an optical auxiliary layer. Such a photoelectric element is shown in Figure 2.

[0062] Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic configuration of a photoelectric element according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 2, the photoelectric element 200 includes a first electrode 10 and a second electrode 20 facing each other, an active layer 30 disposed between the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 20, a first auxiliary layer 40 disposed between the first electrode 10 and the active layer 30, and a second auxiliary layer 45 disposed between the second electrode 20 and the active layer 30. In one embodiment, only one of the first auxiliary layer 40 and the second auxiliary layer 45 may be included in the photoelectric element 200.

[0063] The first auxiliary layer 40 and the second auxiliary layer 45 are charge auxiliary layers that facilitate the movement of holes and electrons separated in the active layer 30, thereby increasing efficiency. The charge auxiliary layers 40 and / or 45 may include at least one selected from a hole injecting layer (HIL) for facilitating hole injection, a hole transporting layer (HTL) for facilitating hole transport, an electron blocking layer (EBL) for preventing electron movement, an electron injecting layer (EIL) for facilitating electron injection, an electron transporting layer (ETL) for facilitating electron transport, and a hole blocking layer (HBL) for preventing hole movement.

[0064] The charge auxiliary layers 40 and / or 45 may include, for example, organic materials, inorganic materials, or organic-inorganic materials. Organic substances can be organic compounds that have holes or electronic properties, while inorganic substances can be metal oxides such as molybdenum oxide, tungsten oxide, or nickel oxide. The charge auxiliary layer may include, for example, the aforementioned near-infrared absorbing material. In one embodiment, the charge auxiliary layer 40 and / or 45 may include the aforementioned near-infrared absorbing material, and the active layer 30 may also include the aforementioned near-infrared absorbing material. In one embodiment, the charge auxiliary layer 40 and / or 45 may include the aforementioned near-infrared absorbing material, and the active layer 30 may not include the aforementioned near-infrared absorbing material. The charge auxiliary layer 40 and / or 45 and the photoelectric element 200 including it can exhibit improved near-infrared light absorption characteristics (e.g., improved sensitivity to light in the near-infrared wavelength region, improved absorptiveness to light in the near-infrared region, etc.) and thereby improved photoelectric conversion performance and / or efficiency and / or improved thermal stability based on the charge auxiliary layer 40 and / or 45 including the aforementioned near-infrared absorbing material. The optical auxiliary layer is positioned in the direction of light incidence of the photoelectric element, and is positioned above the active layer 30 when, for example, the second electrode 20 is a photoreceiving electrode (for example, an electrode close to the position where light enters the photoelectric element 200). For example, the optical auxiliary layer is placed between the second electrode 20 and the active layer 30.

[0065] The photoelectric elements (100, 200) may further include an anti-reflective layer 47 on one surface of the first electrode 10 or the second electrode 20. The anti-reflective layer 47 can be positioned on the side where light is incident to further improve light absorption by reducing the reflectivity of the incident light. For example, when light is incident on the first electrode 10 side, the anti-reflective layer is placed on one surface of the first electrode 10, and when light is incident on the second electrode 20 side, the anti-reflective layer is placed on one surface of the second electrode 20. The anti-reflective layer 47 may, for example, contain a substance having a refractive index of about 1.6 to 2.5, and may contain, for example, at least one of metal oxides, metal sulfides, and organic substances having a refractive index within the said range.

[0066] The anti-reflective layer 47 may include, but is not limited to, metal oxides such as aluminum-containing oxides, molybdenum-containing oxides, tungsten-containing oxides, vanadium-containing oxides, rhenium-containing oxides, niobium-containing oxides, tantalum-containing oxides, titanium-containing oxides, nickel-containing oxides, copper-containing oxides, cobalt-containing oxides, manganese-containing oxides, chromium-containing oxides, tellurium-containing oxides, or combinations thereof, metal sulfides such as zinc sulfide, or organic substances such as amine derivatives.

[0067] In the photoelectric elements (100, 200), if light is incident from the first electrode 10 or the second electrode 20 side and the active layer 30 absorbs light in a specific (or predetermined) wavelength range, an exciton is generated inside. The exciton is separated into a hole and an electron in the active layer 30. The separated hole moves to the anode side, which is one of the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 20, and the separated electron moves to the cathode side, which is the other of the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 20, causing an electric current to flow.

[0068] Photoelectric elements (100, 200) can be applied to, but are not limited to, solar cells, image sensors, photodetectors, light sensors, and organic light-emitting diodes. Photoelectric elements (100, 200) can be applied to, for example, organic sensors. The organic sensor may be an organic CMOS sensor, for example, an organic CMOS infrared light sensor or an organic CMOS image sensor. In one embodiment, the photoelectric element 100 may include a near-infrared absorbing material in any component, including one or more of the first electrode 10 or the second electrode 20, in addition to or as an alternative to the active layer 30. In one embodiment, the photoelectric element 200 may include a near-infrared absorbing material in any component including one or more first electrodes 10 or second electrodes 20, in addition to or as an alternative to the active layer 30 and / or one or more charge auxiliary layers 40 / 45.

[0069] Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view showing an organic sensor according to one embodiment of the present invention. An organic sensor 300 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a semiconductor substrate 110, an insulating layer 80, and a photoelectric element 100. The semiconductor substrate 110 may be a silicon substrate and has a transmission transistor (not shown) and a charge storage 55 integrated on it.

[0070] The charge storage 55 is integrated for each pixel. The charge storage 55 is electrically connected to the photoelectric element 100, and information from the charge storage 55 is transmitted by the transmission transistor. Metal wiring (not shown) and pads (not shown) are also formed on the semiconductor substrate 110. Metal wiring and pads can be manufactured from, but are not limited to, metals with low resistivity to reduce signal delay, such as aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), and alloys thereof. However, the structure is not limited to the above, and metal wiring and pads may be arranged on the lower part of the semiconductor substrate 110.

[0071] An insulating layer 80 is formed on top of the metal wiring and pads. The insulating layer 80 can be formed from an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide and / or silicon nitride, or from a low dielectric constant (low K) material such as SiC, SiCOH, SiCO, and / or SiOF. The insulating layer 80 has a trench 85 that exposes the charge storage 55. The trench is filled with filler material. The aforementioned photoelectric element 100 is formed on the insulating layer 80. The photoelectric element 100 includes a first electrode 10, an active layer 30, and a second electrode 20, as described above. The figure illustrates a structure in which the first electrode 10, the active layer 30, and the second electrode 20 are sequentially stacked, but the structure is not limited to this, and the second electrode 20, the active layer 30, and the first electrode 10 may be arranged in that order.

[0072] The first electrode 10 and the second electrode 20 may both be transparent electrodes, and the active layer 30 is as described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. The active layer 30 selectively absorbs light in the near-infrared wavelength range. Light incident from the second electrode 20 side is mainly absorbed in the active layer 30 in the near-infrared wavelength range and converted into photoelectric energy. As described above with reference to Figure 1, the active layer 30 can include the aforementioned near-infrared absorbing material, thereby improving sensitivity to near-infrared light and enhancing the performance and / or efficiency (e.g., photoelectric conversion performance and / or efficiency) of the organic sensor 300 in absorbing and / or converting (converting light into electrical signals) incident near-infrared light. A focusing lens (not shown) may be further formed on the photoelectric element 100. A focusing lens controls the direction of incident light to concentrate it at a single point. The focusing lens may, for example, be cylindrical or hemispherical in shape, but is not limited to these. Figure 3 shows an organic sensor to which the photoelectric element 100 from Figure 1 is applied, but the photoelectric element 200 from Figure 2 can also be applied in a similar manner (for example, by replacing the photoelectric element 100 with the organic sensor 300).

[0073] The organic sensor according to this embodiment may be an organic infrared light sensor, for example, an iris sensor or a depth sensor. An iris sensor is a sensor that identifies an individual using the unique iris characteristics of each person. It can perform iris recognition by capturing a picture of the user's eye at an appropriate distance from the user, processing the captured image, and comparing it with a pre-stored image. A depth sensor is a sensor that determines the shape and position of a three-dimensional object from its information. It captures an image of the object within an appropriate distance from the user, and then processes the captured image to confirm the object's shape and position. Such a depth sensor can be used, for example, as a face recognition sensor.

[0074] Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic configuration of an organic sensor according to another embodiment of the present invention. The organic sensor according to this embodiment may include multiple sensors with different functions. For example, at least one of the multiple sensors with different functions may be a biorecognition sensor, which may be, but is not limited to, an iris sensor, distance sensor, fingerprint sensor, or vascular distribution sensor. For example, one of several sensors with different functions may be an iris sensor, while another may be a distance sensor.

[0075] As an example, the multiple sensors include, for example, a first infrared light sensor that senses light in the infrared region having a first wavelength λ1 within the infrared wavelength region (e.g., selectively absorbs and / or converts it (converts it to an electrical signal, e.g., photoelectric conversion)) and a second infrared light sensor that senses infrared light having a second wavelength λ2 (the same as or different from the infrared wavelength region including the first wavelength λ1) within the infrared wavelength region (e.g., selectively absorbs and / or converts it (converts it to an electrical signal, e.g., photoelectric conversion)). The first wavelength λ1 and the second wavelength λ2 may differ from each other, for example, within the wavelength range of approximately 750 nm to 3000 nm. For example, the difference between the first wavelength λ1 and the second wavelength λ2 may be approximately 30 nm or more, approximately 50 nm or more within the aforementioned range, approximately 70 nm or more, approximately 80 nm or more, and approximately 90 nm or more.

[0076] For example, one of the first wavelength λ1 and the second wavelength λ2 may belong to the wavelength region of approximately 780 nm to 900 nm, and the other of the first wavelength λ1 and the second wavelength λ2 may belong to the wavelength region of approximately 900 nm to 1000 nm. For example, one of the first wavelength λ1 and the second wavelength λ2 may belong to the wavelength region of approximately 780 nm to 840 nm, and the other of the first wavelength λ1 and the second wavelength λ2 may belong to the wavelength region of approximately 910 nm to 970 nm. For example, one of the first wavelength λ1 and the second wavelength λ2 may belong to the wavelength region of approximately 800 nm to 830 nm, and the other of the first wavelength λ1 and the second wavelength λ2 may belong to the wavelength region of approximately 930 nm to 950 nm.

[0077] For example, one of the first wavelength λ1 and the second wavelength λ2 may belong to the wavelength region of approximately 805 nm to 815 nm, and the other of the first wavelength λ1 and the second wavelength λ2 may belong to the wavelength region of approximately 935 nm to 945 nm. For example, one of the first wavelength λ1 and the second wavelength λ2 could be approximately 810 nm, and the other of the first wavelength λ1 and the second wavelength λ2 could be approximately 940 nm.

[0078] The organic sensor 400 according to this embodiment includes a semiconductor substrate 110 on which a dual bandpass filter 95, a first infrared light sensor 100A, an insulating layer 80, and a second infrared light sensor 120 are integrated. The second infrared light sensor 120 is at least partially embedded within the semiconductor substrate 110. The first infrared light sensor 100A and the second infrared light sensor 120 are stacked, for example, in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface 110S of the semiconductor substrate 110. As shown in Figure 4, the dual bandpass filter 95 is positioned on the front side of the organic sensor 400 and selectively transmits infrared light including a first wavelength λ1 (e.g., light in the infrared wavelength range) and infrared light including a second wavelength λ2, while blocking and / or absorbing other light. Here, "other light" includes light in the ultraviolet and visible light regions.

[0079] The first infrared light sensor 100A includes a first electrode 10, an active layer 30, and a second electrode 20. As shown in Figure 4, the first infrared light sensor 100A is the same as the photoelectric element 100 in the embodiment described above with reference to Figure 1. In one embodiment, the first infrared light sensor 100A may be the photoelectric element 200 shown in Figure 2. As shown in Figure 4, the second infrared light sensor 120 may be integrated within the semiconductor substrate 110 and may be a light sensing element. The semiconductor substrate 110 may be, for example, a silicon substrate, and integrates a second infrared light sensor 120, a charge storage unit 55, and a transmission transistor (not shown). The second infrared light sensor 120 may be a photodiode (for example, a silicon-based photodiode), which senses (for example, absorbs) incoming light, and the sensed information can be transmitted by a transmission transistor.

[0080] Here, the light flowing into the second infrared light sensor 120 is light that has passed through the dual bandpass filter 95 and the first infrared light sensor 100A (for example, selectively transmitted), and may be infrared light in a specific (or predetermined) region including the second wavelength λ2. Infrared light in a predetermined region including the first wavelength λ1 may be completely absorbed by the active layer 30 of the first infrared light sensor and may not reach the second infrared light sensor 120. In this case, a separate filter is not required for wavelength selectivity of the light flowing into the second infrared light sensor 120. However, a filter may be additionally provided between the first infrared light sensor 100A and the second infrared light sensor 120 in case infrared light in a specific (or predetermined) region including the first wavelength λ1 is not completely absorbed by the active layer 30. Therefore, in the organic sensor 400, the first infrared sensor 100A may include photoelectric elements (e.g., photoelectric elements 100 and / or 200) configured to sense (e.g., selectively absorb and / or convert into an electrical signal (e.g., photoelectric conversion)) light in a first near-infrared wavelength region of incident light (e.g., a first near-infrared wavelength region including a first wavelength λ1), and the second infrared sensor 120 may be an additional sensor configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (e.g., photoelectric conversion) light in a different wavelength region of incident light (e.g., a second near-infrared wavelength region that differs from the first near-infrared wavelength region, including a second wavelength λ2 and excluding the first wavelength λ1).

[0081] The organic sensor according to this embodiment can not only function as a composite sensor by including two infrared light sensors that perform separate functions, but also significantly improve sensitivity by stacking two sensors that perform separate functions in each pixel, while maintaining the same size, thereby doubling the number of pixels that can perform the function of each sensor. As described above with reference to Figure 1, any portion of the active layer 30 or the photoelectric elements 100 and / or 200 can include the aforementioned near-infrared absorbing material, thereby improving the sensitivity and / or absorbance to near-infrared light and enhancing performance, and improving the performance and efficiency (e.g., photoelectric conversion performance and / or efficiency) of the organic sensor 400 that absorbs and / or photoelectrically converts incident near-infrared light as an electrical signal. In one embodiment, the second infrared sensor 120 may include the aforementioned near-infrared absorbing material, thereby improving its sensitivity and / or absorbance to near-infrared light and enhancing its performance, and improving the performance and efficiency (e.g., photoelectric conversion performance and / or efficiency) of the organic sensor 400 that absorbs and / or photoelectrically converts incident near-infrared light as an electrical signal.

[0082] Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic configuration of an organic sensor according to another embodiment. The organic sensor according to this embodiment may be an organic CMOS image sensor. Referring to Figure 5, an organic sensor 500 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a semiconductor substrate 110 on which a light sensing element (e.g., photodiode, e.g., silicon-based photodiode) (50a, 50b, 50c), a transmission transistor (not shown), and a charge storage 55 are integrated, a lower insulating layer 60, color filters (70a, 70b, 70c), an upper insulating layer 80, and a photoelectric element 100.

[0083] The semiconductor substrate 110 integrates photosensing elements (50a, 50b, 50c), a transmission transistor (not shown), and a charge storage unit 55. The photosensing elements (50a, 50b, 50c) are at least partially embedded in the semiconductor substrate 110 and are superimposed on the photoelectric element 100 in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface 110S of the semiconductor substrate 110. The light sensing elements (50a, 50b, 50c) may be photodiodes (e.g., silicon photodiodes) configured to sense (e.g., selectively absorb and / or convert (photoconversion)) light of different visible wavelengths.

[0084] The light-sensing elements (50a, 50b, 50c), transmission transistors, and / or charge storage units 55 are integrated for each pixel, and as an example, the light-sensing element 50a is included in the red pixel, the light-sensing element 50b is included in the green pixel, and the light-sensing element 50c is included in the blue pixel. The light sensing elements (50a, 50b, 50c) sense light (for example, selectively absorb and / or convert it (convert it into an electrical signal, for example, photoelectric conversion)), the sensed information is transmitted by a transmission transistor, the charge storage 55 is electrically connected to the photoelectric element 100, and the information from the charge storage 55 is transmitted by a transmission transistor.

[0085] Metal wiring (not shown) and pads (not shown) are also formed on the semiconductor substrate 110. Metal wiring and pads can be manufactured from metals with low resistivity to reduce signal delay, such as aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), and alloys thereof, but are not limited to these. However, the structure is not limited to the above, and the metal wiring and pads are arranged below the light sensing elements (50a, 50b). A lower insulating layer 60 is formed on top of the metal wiring and pads. The lower insulating layer 60 may contain the same or a different material composition as the insulating layer 80.

[0086] Color filters (70a, 70b, 70c) are formed on top of the lower insulating layer 60. The color filters (70a, 70b, 70c) include a blue filter 70a formed on blue pixels, a red filter 70b formed on red pixels, and a green filter 70c formed on green pixels. An insulating layer 80 (also called the upper insulating layer) is formed on top of the color filters (70a, 70b, 70c). The insulating layer 80 is flattened by removing any steps caused by the color filters (70a, 70b, 70c).

[0087] The aforementioned photoelectric element 100 is formed on the insulating layer 80. As described above, the photoelectric element 100 includes a first electrode 10, an active layer 30, and a second electrode 20. The figure illustrates a structure in which the first electrode 10, the active layer 30, and the second electrode 20 are sequentially stacked, but the structure is not limited to this, and the second electrode 20, the active layer 30, and the first electrode 10 may be arranged in that order. The first electrode 10 and the second electrode 20 may both be transparent electrodes, and the active layer 30 is as described above. The active layer 30 selectively absorbs and / or converts (converts to electrical signals, e.g., photoelectric conversion) light in the near-infrared wavelength range. As previously mentioned in relation to the photoelectric elements (100, 200), any part of the photoelectric element 100 (for example, the first electrode 10, the second electrode 20, and / or the active layer 30) may include the aforementioned near-infrared absorbing material.

[0088] Light incident from the second electrode 20 side is mainly absorbed in the near-infrared wavelength region by the active layer 30 and converted into photoelectric energy. Light in the remaining wavelength range passes through the first electrode 10 and the color filters (70a, 70b, 70c). Light in the red wavelength range that passes through color filter 70a is sensed by the photosensing element 50a, light in the green wavelength range that passes through color filter 70b is sensed by the photosensing element 50b, and light in the blue wavelength range that passes through color filter 70c is sensed by the photosensing element 50c. As described above with reference to Figure 1, the active layer 30, by including the aforementioned near-infrared absorbing material, has improved sensitivity to near-infrared light, thereby improving the performance and / or efficiency (e.g., photoelectric conversion performance and / or efficiency) of the organic sensor 500 that absorbs and / or converts (converts light into electrical signals) incident near-infrared light. Therefore, if an organic sensor includes a photoelectric element configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (e.g., photoelectric conversion) light in a first near-infrared wavelength region, the organic sensor may include an additional sensor configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (convert to an electrical signal, e.g., photoelectric conversion) light in a separate visible wavelength region (e.g., red, blue, and / or green light) by including a plurality of photodiodes (e.g., photosensing elements 50a, 50b, 50c) at least partially embedded in a semiconductor substrate. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a pixel array of an organic sensor according to one embodiment. Referring to Figure 6, an organic sensor 600 according to one embodiment may include a plurality of pixels PX, the plurality of pixels PX having a matrix array arranged iteratively along rows and columns. Multiple pixels PX can form (at least partially include) a unit pixel group A of, for example, a 2x2 pixel array, as shown in Figure 6. However, the pixel arrangement is not limited to this and can be modified in various ways; a unit pixel group A can be transformed into various pixel arrays other than a 2x2 array, such as a 3x3 array or a 4x4 array. At least some of the pixels can contain multiple sensors with different functions within a single pixel, and these multiple sensors can be stacked inside it. In some exemplary embodiments, each pixel PX may include two or more organic sensors configured to sense (e.g., absorb) light in different wavelength regions ("wavelength spectrum of light") relative to each other. Organic sensors configured to sense light in different wavelength regions can be stacked in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface 110S of the substrate of the organic sensor 600 (e.g., perpendicular within the manufacturing tolerance and / or material tolerance range), as shown in Figure 7 (e.g., y direction). Here, light from different wavelength regions can be selected from the visible light wavelength region, the infrared wavelength region including the near-infrared wavelength region, and the ultraviolet (UV) wavelength region, respectively. Any organic sensor according to any exemplary embodiment of this specification may have a pixel array structure of organic sensor 600 as shown in Figure 6. Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view showing an organic sensor according to one embodiment. As shown in Figure 7, an organic sensor 700 according to one embodiment includes a semiconductor substrate 110 on which a visible light sensor 50, which includes light sensing elements (50a, 50b), a transmission transistor (not shown), and a charge storage 55, is integrated, a lower insulating layer 60, a color filter layer 70, an insulating layer 80 (also called an upper insulating layer when present together with the lower insulating layer 60 in the same organic sensor), and a photoelectric element 100. The semiconductor substrate 110 may be a silicon substrate and integrates a photosensing element (50a, 50b), a transmission transistor (not shown), and a charge storage unit 55. The light sensing elements (50a, 50b) may be photodiodes (for example, silicon-based photodiodes). The light sensing elements (50a, 50b) sense light, and the information sensed by the light sensing elements is transmitted by the transmission transistor. The charge storage 55 is electrically connected to the photoelectric element 100, and the information from the charge storage 55 is transferred by the transmission transistor. Metal wiring (not shown) and pads (not shown) are also formed on the semiconductor substrate 110. Metal wiring and pads may be formed from metals with low resistivity to reduce signal delay, such as aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), and alloys thereof, but are not limited to these. However, the structure is not limited to the above, and the metal wiring and pads may be placed below the light sensing elements (50a, 50b). A lower insulating layer 60 is formed on top of the metal wiring and pads. The lower insulating layer 60 can be formed from an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide and / or silicon nitride, or from a low dielectric constant (low K) material such as SiC, SiCOH, SiCO and / or SiOF. The lower insulating layer 60 has a trench 85 that exposes the charge storage 55. The trench can be filled with filler material. A color filter layer 70 is formed on top of the lower insulating layer 60. The color filter layer 70 includes a blue filter 70a formed on blue pixels and a red filter 70b formed on red pixels. Although a green filter is not shown in Figure 7, an additional green filter may be provided. An insulating layer 80 is formed on top of the color filter layer 70. The insulating layer 80 is flattened by removing the step caused by the color filter layer 70. The insulating layer 80 and the lower insulating layer 60 may include contact holes (not shown) that expose the pads, and the charge storage 55 of the green pixels through the holes (e.g., trenches 85). The aforementioned photoelectric element 100 is formed on the insulating layer 80. As described above, the photoelectric element 100 includes a first electrode 10, an active layer 30, and a second electrode 20. The photoelectric element 100 may be the same as the photoelectric element 100 in Figure 1, and in the exemplary embodiment, the photoelectric element 100 in Figure 1 can be replaced with the photoelectric element 200 in Figure 2. The first electrode 10 and the second electrode 20 may both be transparent electrodes, and the active layer 30 can selectively absorb and / or convert (convert to an electrical signal, for example, photoelectric conversion) light in the near-infrared wavelength region. In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7, the active layer 30 can additionally selectively absorb and / or convert (to electrical signals, for example, photoelectric conversion) light in the visible light wavelength range (e.g., green light). A focusing lens (not shown) may be further formed on the photoelectric element 100. A focusing lens can control the direction of incident light and concentrate it to a single point. The focusing lens may, for example, be cylindrical or hemispherical in shape, but is not limited to these. Figure 7 shows a structure in which photoelectric elements 100 that selectively absorb light in the near-infrared wavelength region are stacked on a semiconductor substrate 110, but the present invention is not limited to this. Of the light incident on the organic sensor 700 on the upper surface of the photoelectric element 100, at least light in the near-infrared wavelength range is mainly absorbed by the active layer 30 and can be converted into photoelectricity, while visible light (e.g., blue, green, and / or red) wavelength range passes through the first electrode 10 and can be sensed by the photosensing elements (50a, 50b). Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view showing an organic sensor according to another embodiment. Referring to Figure 8, the organic sensor 800 according to this embodiment includes the visible light sensor 50 and the photoelectric element 100 as described above. Referring to Figure 8, in the organic sensor 800 according to this embodiment, the visible light sensor 50 may be a combination of a photodiode integrated on the semiconductor substrate 110 and a photoelectric element placed on the semiconductor substrate 110, and the photoelectric element 100 may be a separate photoelectric element. Therefore, if the organic sensor includes a photoelectric element (e.g., 100) configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (e.g., photoelectric conversion) light in a first near-infrared wavelength region, and additional sensors (e.g., 50a and / or 50b) configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (e.g., photoelectric conversion) light in a different wavelength region of incident light, the organic sensor may further include an additional photoelectric element (e.g., 50c) on a semiconductor substrate, the additional photoelectric element may be placed between the photoelectric element 100 and the semiconductor substrate 110, and the additional photoelectric element may be configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (e.g., photoelectric conversion) light in an additional wavelength region of incident light that is different from the first near-infrared wavelength region and different from the different wavelength region absorbed by the additional sensors (50a and / or 50b). The semiconductor substrate 110 integrates a blue light sensing element 50a, a red light sensing element 50b, a charge storage unit 55, and a transmission transistor (not shown). The blue light sensing element 50a and the red light sensing element 50b are photodiodes (for example, silicon-based photodiodes) spaced apart from each other in the horizontal direction on the semiconductor substrate 110. The blue light sensing element 50a is integrated into the blue pixel, and the red light sensing element 50b is integrated into the red pixel. A lower insulating layer 60 and a color filter layer 70 are formed on the semiconductor substrate 110. The color filter layer 70 includes a blue filter 70a superimposed on the blue light sensing element 50a and a red filter 70b superimposed on the red light sensing element 50b. An intermediate insulating layer 65 is formed on the color filter layer 70. The lower insulating layer 60 and the intermediate insulating layer 65 may have through-holes (e.g., trenches 85) that expose the charge storage 55. Through holes (e.g., trench 85) can be filled with filler. At least one of the lower insulating layer 60 or the intermediate insulating layer 65 can be omitted. An additional photoelectric element 850 is formed on the intermediate insulating layer 65. As shown in Figure 8, the additional photoelectric element 850 is also a green sensor 50c, but in some exemplary embodiments, the additional photoelectric element 850 can be configured to sense (e.g., selectively absorb and / or convert (to an electrical signal) (photoelectric conversion)) light in a wavelength region different from the green wavelength region, and the light in the above wavelength region may be another non-visible light wavelength region (e.g., a second near-infrared wavelength region) different from the first near-infrared wavelength region sensed by the photoelectric element 100. The additional photoelectric element 850 includes a first electrode (lower electrode) 101 and a second electrode (upper electrode) 102 facing each other, and an active layer 103 between the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102. One of the first electrode 101 or the second electrode 102 is the anode, and the other is the cathode. The first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 may both be transparent electrodes. The transparent electrodes can be formed from conductive oxides such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), zinc oxide (ZnO), tin oxide (SnO), aluminum tin oxide (AlTO), and fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO), or from thin single or multiple layers of metal thin films. The active layer 103 may have a composition similar to that of the active layer 30 of the photoelectric element (100 and / or 200), and may include a near-infrared absorbing material. The active layer 103 may be a photoelectric conversion layer configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (e.g., absorbed light) (to an electrical signal) in at least a portion of the wavelength range (e.g., the wavelength spectrum of light). The active layer 103 can convert, for example, light in the green wavelength region (hereinafter referred to as "green light"), light in the blue wavelength region (hereinafter referred to as "blue light"), light in the red wavelength region (hereinafter referred to as "red light"), light in the infrared wavelength region (hereinafter referred to as "infrared light"), light in the ultraviolet wavelength region (hereinafter referred to as "ultraviolet light"), or combinations thereof, into electrical signals. For example, the active layer 103 can be configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (to an electrical signal) (e.g., photoelectric conversion) at least one of green light, blue light, red light, infrared light, or ultraviolet light. Here, selective absorption of at least one of green light, blue light, red light, infrared light, or ultraviolet light means that the light absorption spectrum is approximately 500 nm to approximately 600 nm, above approximately 380 nm and below approximately 500 nm, above approximately 600 nm and below approximately 700 nm, and above approximately 700 nm and below approximately 3000 nm, with the maximum absorption wavelength (λ) max This means that the optical absorption spectrum in that wavelength region is significantly higher than the spectra in other wavelength regions. The active layer 103 may include one or more p-type semiconductors and one or more n-type semiconductors that form a pn junction, generate excitons upon receiving light from the outside, and then separate the generated excitons into holes and electrons. The p-type semiconductor and the n-type semiconductor may each be independently light-absorbing materials; for example, at least one of the p-type semiconductor or the n-type semiconductor may be an organic light-absorbing material. For example, at least one of the p-type semiconductor or n-type semiconductor may be a wavelength-selective light-absorbing material that selectively absorbs light in a specific (or predetermined) wavelength range, or for example, at least one of the p-type semiconductor or n-type semiconductor may be a wavelength-selective organic light-absorbing material. p-type semiconductors and n-type semiconductors exhibit peak absorption wavelengths (λ) in the same wavelength region or other wavelength regions among the green wavelength region, blue wavelength region, red wavelength region, and infrared wavelength region. max ) can have. For example, a p-type semiconductor may be an organic material having a core structure containing electron-donating molecules, pi-conjugated linking groups, and electron-accepting molecules.

The n-type semiconductor may be, for example, a fullerene or a fullerene derivative, but is not limited to this. The active layer 103 may be an intrinsic layer (I layer) in which a p-type semiconductor and an n-type semiconductor are mixed at a bulk heterojunction. Here, p-type semiconductors and n-type semiconductors can be mixed in a volume ratio of approximately 1:9 to 9:1, for example, approximately 2:8 to 8:2, approximately 3:7 to 7:3, approximately 4:6 to 6:4, or approximately 5:5. The active layer 103 may include a bilayer comprising a p-type layer containing the aforementioned p-type semiconductor and an n-type layer containing the aforementioned n-type semiconductor.

For example, these can be included in various combinations such as p-type layer / I-layer, I-layer / n-type layer, and p-type layer / I-layer / n-type layer. As shown in Figure 8, the active layer 103 is configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (to electrical signals, e.g., photoelectric conversion) green light, but is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the active layer 103 can be configured to absorb and / or convert (to electrical signals, e.g., photoelectric conversion) blue light, red light, or any visible or non-visible light wavelength region (e.g., the second wavelength region of near-infrared light selectively transmitted by the photoelectric element 100). Figure 9 is a cross-sectional view showing an organic sensor according to another embodiment. Referring to Figure 9, the organic sensor 900 according to this embodiment includes a visible light sensor 50 and a photoelectric element 100 similar to that of the above embodiment. The visible light sensor 50 includes an additional photoelectric element 850 which includes a blue light sensing element 50a and a red light sensing element 50b integrated on a semiconductor substrate 110, and a green sensor 50c disposed on the semiconductor substrate 110. The blue light sensing element 50a and the red light sensing element 50b may be photodiodes (for example, silicon-based photodiodes), and the additional photoelectric element 850 may be the same as or a different green sensor 50c shown in Figure 8. The additional photoelectric element 850 includes a first electrode 101, an active layer 103, and a second electrode (upper electrode) 102, while the photoelectric element 100 includes a first electrode 10, an active layer 30, and a second electrode 20. However, in the organic sensor 900 according to this embodiment, the blue light sensing element 50a and the red light sensing element 50b integrated on the semiconductor substrate 110 are stacked in the vertical direction (for example, perpendicular to the upper surface 110S of the semiconductor substrate 110). The blue light sensing element 50a and the red light sensing element 50b can be configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (e.g., photoelectric conversion) light in each wavelength region depending on the stacking depth for sensing. In other words, the red light sensing element 50b, which is configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (to an electrical signal, e.g., photoelectric conversion) red light in the long-wavelength region, is positioned deeper from the surface of the semiconductor substrate 110 than the blue light sensing element 50a, which is configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (to an electrical signal, e.g., photoelectric conversion) blue light in the short-wavelength region. In this way, the absorption wavelength can be separated by the stacking depth, making it possible to omit the color filter layer 70. Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view showing an organic sensor according to one embodiment. Referring to Figure 10, the organic sensor 950 according to this embodiment includes a visible light sensor 50 and a photoelectric element 100 similar to that of the above embodiment. The visible light sensor 50 includes a blue light sensing element 50a, a green sensor 50c, and a red light sensing element 50b integrated on a semiconductor substrate 110, and the blue light sensing element 50a, green sensor 50c, and red light sensing element 50b may be photodiodes. In this embodiment, the organic sensor 950 has a blue light sensing element 50a, a green sensor 50c, and a red light sensing element 50b, all of which are stacked vertically on a semiconductor substrate 110. The blue light sensing element 50a, the green sensor 50c, and the red light sensing element 50b can be configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (e.g., photoelectric conversion) light in each wavelength region from the upper surface 110S depending on the stacking depth. Specifically, the red light sensing element 50b, configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (to an electrical signal, e.g., photoelectric conversion) red light in the long-wavelength region, is positioned deeper from the upper surface 110S of the semiconductor substrate 110 than the blue light sensing element 50a, which is configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (to an electrical signal, e.g., photoelectric conversion) blue light in the short-wavelength region. The green sensor 50c, configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (to an electrical signal, e.g., photoelectric conversion) green light in the intermediate-wavelength region, is positioned deeper from the upper surface 110S of the semiconductor substrate 110 than the blue light sensing element 50a, and closer to the upper surface 110S of the semiconductor substrate 110 than the red light sensing element 50b. In this way, the absorption wavelength can be separated by the stacking depth, making it possible to omit the color filter layer 70. Figure 11 is a cross-sectional view showing an organic sensor according to another embodiment. Referring to Figure 11, the organic sensor 970 according to this embodiment includes a first photoelectric element (e.g., infrared / near-infrared photoelectric element 1200d) configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (e.g., photoelectric conversion) light in the near-infrared wavelength spectrum of incident light (e.g., a first near-infrared wavelength region), and one or more additional photoelectric elements (e.g., 1200a-1200c) stacked vertically between the first photoelectric element and the semiconductor substrate 110, each of which additional photoelectric elements includes a separate photoelectric conversion layer and is configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (e.g., photoelectric conversion) a different (e.g., each) wavelength region of incident light, and the different (e.g., each) wavelength region may be a different visible and / or invisible light wavelength region from the first near-infrared wavelength region. For example, as shown in Figure 11, the organic sensor 970 includes additional photoelectric elements, including a red photoelectric element configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (to an electrical signal) (e.g., photoelectric conversion) light in the red wavelength spectrum of incident light, a green photoelectric element configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (to an electrical signal) (e.g., photoelectric conversion) light in the green wavelength spectrum of incident light, and a blue photoelectric element configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (to an electrical signal) (e.g., photoelectric conversion) light in the blue wavelength spectrum of incident light, which are stacked vertically (e.g., in the z direction). Therefore, as shown in Figure 11, the organic sensor 970 includes a plurality of photoelectric elements (1200a to 1200d) stacked vertically on the semiconductor substrate 110, and the plurality of photoelectric elements (1200a to 1200d) can be superimposed in a direction that extends perpendicularly to the upper surface 110S of the semiconductor substrate 110. The organic sensor 970 includes a first photoelectric element (e.g., a fourth photoelectric element 1200d) configured to selectively absorb and / or convert light in a first near-infrared wavelength region, plus a plurality of additional photoelectric elements (1200a to 1200c). However, in some exemplary embodiments, the organic sensor 970 may be limited to including a single additional photoelectric element (e.g., any one of 1200a to 1200c) between the photoelectric element 1200d and the semiconductor substrate 110. The organic sensor 970 according to this embodiment includes a semiconductor substrate 110, a lower insulating layer 80a, an intermediate insulating layer 80b, another intermediate insulating layer 80c, an upper insulating layer 80d, a first photoelectric element 1200a, a second photoelectric element 1200b, a third photoelectric element 1200c, and a fourth photoelectric element 1200d. In some exemplary embodiments, the fourth photoelectric element 1200d may be a first photoelectric element configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (e.g., photoelectric conversion) light in a first near-infrared wavelength region, and the first to third photoelectric elements (1200a to 1200c) may be at least one additional photoelectric element configured to selectively absorb and / or convert (e.g., photoelectric conversion) light in one or more separate wavelength regions different from the first near-infrared wavelength region. As shown in the figure, the first to fourth photoelectric elements (1200a to 1200d) are stacked on the semiconductor substrate 110 so as to overlap each other in a direction that extends perpendicularly to the upper surface 110S of the semiconductor substrate 110. The semiconductor substrate 110 may be a silicon substrate, and a transmission transistor (not shown) and a charge storage are integrated on it. The first to third photoelectric elements (1200a to 1200c) can have the same structure as the additional photoelectric element 850 shown in Figures 8 and 9. However, each separate photoelectric element (1200a to 1200c) can be configured to photoelectrically convert a different wavelength region of visible light and / or non-visible light (e.g., near-infrared light), and the photoelectric conversion layers (1230a to 1230c) can selectively absorb and / or convert (e.g., photoelectrically convert) light in other visible and / or non-visible light wavelength regions by having the same structure and / or composition as the various exemplary embodiments (e.g., different exemplary embodiments) of the aforementioned active layer 103 and / or active layer 30, and may include a near-infrared absorbing material. The first photoelectric element 1200a is formed on the lower insulating layer 80a. The first photoelectric element 1200a includes a photoelectric conversion layer 1230a. The first photoelectric element 1200a may be any one of the photoelectric elements according to any embodiment described herein. The photoelectric conversion layer 1230a can selectively absorb and / or convert (to an electrical signal) one of the infrared, red, blue, and green wavelength spectra of the incident light (e.g., photoelectric conversion). For example, the first photoelectric element 1200a may be a blue photoelectric element. The intermediate insulating layer 80b is formed on the first photoelectric element 1200a. The second photoelectric element 1200b is formed on the intermediate insulating layer 80b. The second photoelectric element 1200b includes a photoelectric conversion layer 1230b. The second photoelectric element 1200b may be a photoelectric element according to any one of the embodiments described herein. The photoelectric conversion layer 1230b can selectively absorb and / or convert (to an electrical signal) one of the infrared, red, blue, or green wavelength spectra of the incident light (e.g., photoelectric conversion). For example, the second photoelectric element 1200b may be a green photoelectric element. Another intermediate insulating layer 80c is formed on top of the second photoelectric element 1200b. The third photoelectric element 1200c is formed on the intermediate insulating layer 80c. The third photoelectric element 1200c includes a photoelectric conversion layer 1230c. The third photoelectric element 1200c may be a photoelectric element according to any one embodiment of the photoelectric elements described herein. The photoelectric conversion layer 1230c can selectively absorb and / or convert (to an electrical signal) one of the infrared, red, blue, or green wavelength spectra of the incident light (e.g., photoelectric conversion). For example, the third photoelectric element 1200c may be a red photoelectric element. An upper insulating layer 80d is formed on the third photoelectric element 1200c. The lower insulating layer 80a, the intermediate insulating layers (80b, 80c), and the upper insulating layer 80d have multiple through-holes that expose the charge storage sections (55a, 55b, 55c, 55d). The fourth photoelectric element 1200d is formed on the upper insulating layer 80d. The fourth photoelectric element 1200d includes a photoelectric conversion layer 1230d. The fourth photoelectric element 1200d may be a photoelectric element according to any one of the embodiments described herein. The photoelectric conversion layer 1230d can selectively absorb and / or convert (to an electrical signal) one of the infrared, red, blue, or green wavelengths of light (e.g., photoelectric conversion). For example, the fourth photoelectric element 1200d may be an infrared / near-infrared photoelectric element that includes a near-infrared absorbing material. In the drawing, the first photoelectric element 1200a, the second photoelectric element 1200b, the third photoelectric element 1200c, and the fourth photoelectric element 1200d are stacked in sequence, but the present invention is not limited to this and can be stacked in various orders. As described above, since the first photoelectric element 1200a, the second photoelectric element 1200b, the third photoelectric element 1200c, and the fourth photoelectric element 1200d have a stacked structure, the size of the organic sensor can be reduced and miniaturization can be achieved. The aforementioned organic sensors can be applied to a variety of electronic devices, such as cameras, camcorders, mobile phones incorporating them, display devices, security devices, or medical devices, but are not limited to these.
