The present disclosure relates to a detection device and electronic equipment, in which a detection accuracy of minute light can be improved.A detection device includes: a pixel array portion in which a plurality of first pixels including a photoelectric conversion unit, and a plurality of second pixels not including a photoelectric conversion unit, are arranged; and a driving unit configured to drive the first pixel and the second pixel. The present technology, for example, can be applied to a light detector, a radiation counter device performing radiation counting by using the light detector, and a biological examination device using the light detector, such as a flow cytometer.
