    摘要: A light receiving element according to the present disclosure includes a sensor substrate (102) and a circuit board (101). The sensor substrate (102) is provided with a light receiving region (103), a pair of voltage application electrodes, and an incident surface electrode (104). The light receiving region (103) photoelectrically converts incident light into signal charges. A voltage is alternately applied to the pair of voltage application electrodes to generate, in the light receiving region (103), an electric field that time-divides the signal charges and distributes the signal charges to a pair of charge accumulation electrodes. The incident surface electrode (104) is provided on an incident surface of light in the light receiving region (103), and a voltage equal to or lower than a ground potential is applied to the incident surface electrode. The circuit board (101) is provided on a surface facing the incident surface of the light, of the sensor substrate (102). The circuit board (101) is provided with a pixel transistor that processes the signal charges accumulated in the charge accumulation electrodes.
