1. An imaging device comprising:
a photoelectric conversion layer that includes a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface and that generates signal charge;
at least one pixel electrode located on the first surface of the photoelectric conversion layer;
a control electrode for controlling sensitivity of the imaging device, the control electrode being located on the first surface of the photoelectric conversion layer;
a counter electrode located on the second surface of the photoelectric conversion layer and opposite the at least one pixel electrode and the control electrode; and
a charge accumulator that is connected to the at least one pixel electrode and that accumulates the signal charge,
wherein there is a line segment connecting two points on the at least one pixel electrode to each other and overlapping the control electrode in plan view.
