Abstract
The present technology relates to a light receiving element, a distance measurement module, and electronic equipment which are capable of reducing leakage of incident light to adjacent pixels. A light receiving element includes a semiconductor layer in which photodiodes performing photoelectric conversion of infrared rays are formed in units of pixels, and a wiring layer in which a transfer transistor reading charge generated by the photodiodes is formed, and an inter-pixel light shielding unit that shields the infrared rays is formed at a pixel boundary portion of the wiring layer. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a distance measurement module that measures a distance to a subject, and the like.
