Abstract:
One aspect relates to an image capturing apparatus that includes a plurality of pixels and a plurality of discharge electrodes. Each of the plurality of pixels includes a first electrode arranged on a member including a multilayer wiring layer, a photoelectric conversion film arranged on the first electrode, a second electrode arranged on the photoelectric conversion film, and a microlens arranged on the second electrode and in a position that overlaps with the first electrode in a plan view. Between microlenses included in adjacent two pixels of the plurality of pixels, a gap is formed in the plan view. The discharge electrode is arranged in a position that overlaps with the gap in the plan view.
