Photodetector, electro-optical device, and electronic apparatus

A photodetector comprising:

• first and second light receiving elements, each of which receives light including ambient light and has a light receiving sensitivity to at least a visible light component of the ambient light, the first light receiving element including a first light receiving element anode and a first light receiving element cathode, and the second light receiving element including a second light receiving element anode and a second light receiving element cathode;
• a detection circuit that detects a visible light component of the ambient light on the basis of a difference between a light receiving result in the first light receiving element and a light receiving result in the second light receiving element;
• and
• a filter that is disposed on an optical path through which the ambient light is incident on the second light receiving element and that cuts off the visible light component and transmits a near-infrared light component,
• wherein the first and second light receiving elements are connected in series through a wiring line, the wiring line being connected to the first light receiving element anode and the second light receiving element cathode, and
• wherein the first light receiving element cathode is connected to a first potential, the second light receiving element anode is connected to a second potential, and the first potential is higher than the second potential, and
• wherein each of the first and second light receiving elements is foamed on a substrate by a low temperature poly silicon process.
