To provide: a light emitting element which includes a plurality of luminous layers emitting same color light between a cathode and an anode and is increased in life by allowing the plurality of luminous layers to emit light with a time difference; a display device including the light emitting element; and an electronic apparatus.

A light emitting element 1B includes: a first blue light emitting layer 51B provided between an anode 3 and a cathode 8; and a second blue light emitting layer 52B provided between the cathode 8 and the first blue light emitting layer 51B. The light emitting element 1B further includes a laminate 46 between the first blue light emitting layer 51B and the second blue light emitting layer 52B, the laminate 46 including a hole transport layer 43 and an electron injection layer 61 which are laminated in the order from a side of the first blue light emitting layer 51B.
