Photodetection element and electronic device

Abstract

To make it possible to downsize a pixel as compared with a conventional pixel, and to perform on/off switching control for each of functions. A photodetection element includes: a photoelectric conversion element that accumulates charges according to an amount of incident light; and a pixel circuit that outputs a pixel signal according to the charges accumulated in the photoelectric conversion element, in which the pixel circuit includes: at least one current path; and at least two current cutoff switching units that switch whether or not to cut off the current path.
