Abstract
Provided are a light receiving element and an electronic apparatus that prevent generation of a false signal due to light emission caused by a circuit. The light receiving element includes a plurality of pixels. Each of the plurality of pixels includes: a photoelectric conversion layer that photoelectrically converts incident light; a signal reading circuit including an in-pixel transistor that is provided on a side opposite to a light incident side surface of the photoelectric conversion layer, amplifies signal charge generated by the photoelectric conversion layer, and reads the signal charge out of a pixel array; and a metal junction that bonds the photoelectric conversion layer and the signal reading circuit. The metal junction covers the in-pixel transistor when viewed from the light incident side surface of the photoelectric conversion layer.
