Abstract

To reduce consumed electric power in a light detection element. The light detection element includes a photoelectric conversion section, a disconnection section, and a recharge section. In this light detection element, the disconnection section connects the photoelectric conversion section and a predetermined detection node in a predetermined connection period and disconnects the photoelectric conversion section from the detection node in a wait period not corresponding to the connection period. Moreover, in the light detection element, the recharge section supplies a predetermined voltage to the detection node over a predetermined period from a predetermined recharge start timing in the connection period.
