Abstract
A light source integrated photoelectric conversion apparatus is provided, which includes: a light-emitting element that includes a light-emitting layer, and emits light in a predetermined emission direction through one surface of the light-emitting layer; and a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements that includes a photoelectric conversion layer formed on a region which is not overlapped with the light-emitting layer, and converts light having passed through one surface of the photoelectric conversion layer into an electrical signal. In the light source integrated photoelectric conversion apparatus, the light-emitting element is formed on the same substrate as that of the plurality of photoelectric conversion element, one surface of the photoelectric conversion layer is disposed on the side opposite to the emission direction further away from the other surface of the light-emitting layer, and one surface of the light-emitting layer and the substrate face each other.
