To provide novel devices constituting light detection systems with a
simple configuration, a low maintenance cost, a reduced size and weight,
and high reliability by integrating light detection components and power
supplies.A photosensitive solid-state thin-film lithium-ion secondary
cell including a photosensitive negative-electrode active material layer
as a component, wherein extraneous light can be constantly detected by
utilizing a change in open-circuit voltage of the cell caused when the
extraneous light is incident on the photosensitive negative-electrode
active material layer. Lithium ions can be readily received and emitted
and light in a broad wavelength range over a near-infrared light range,
the entire visible light range, and a near-ultraviolet light range can be
detected by utilizing a porous silicon layer having a controlled porosity
as the negative-electrode active material layer.
