PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an organic solar cell as one which uses a combination of a plurality of organic materials which is improved in photoelectric conversion efficiency, has little deterioration in performance with the passage of time, and can be easily manufactured. SOLUTION: The organic solar cell contains organic materials and generates power by a photoelectric conversion action of a semiconductor. The organic solar cell comprises a pair of electrode layers and a semiconductor layer located between the electrode layers. The semiconductor layer comprises an inorganic oxide layer which is located between the electrode layers and is essentially transparent, and an organic mixture layer which is located adjacently to the inorganic oxide layer and is a mixture of a conductive polymer and a pigment.
