Photo detecting apparatus

A pixel circuit includes a first detector which amplifies a voltage obtained by charging and discharging a capacitance with a photocurrent flowing through a photo detecting element and then outputs it to a first data line, and a second detector which outputs an electric charge stored in the capacitance by the photocurrent, to a second data line. The pixel circuit operates in a first operation mode where the first detector is activated, a second operation mode where the second detector is activated and an initialization mode where the photo detecting element is initialized. With a first transistor turned on, the second detector outputs an electric charge stored in the capacitance in the second operation mode, and in the initialization mode a reset voltage set in the second data line is applied to the other end of the photo detecting element to initialize the photo detecting element.
