Abstract

A detecting device includes a substrate and a plurality of detecting elements arranged in a matrix at the substrate. Each of the plurality of detecting elements includes a light emitting portion and a light receiving portion that receives light of a wavelength emitted from the light emitting portion at a position adjacent to the light emitting portion. The light receiving portion includes a photoelectric conversion portion formed at the substrate. The light emitting portion includes an organic EL light emitting element formed at the substrate. The area of the light receiving portion is larger than the area of the light emitting portion.
