A
quantum dot, an optical component including the
quantum dot, an electronic device, and an electronic apparatus are disclosed. According to one aspect, there is provided a
quantum dot including: a core including a Group I element, a Group III element, a Group VI element, and
gallium (Ga); a first shell including a group I element, a group III element, a group VI element, and
gallium (Ga), and covering the core; and a second shell covering the first shell, in which the band gaps of the core, the first shell, and the second shell satisfy the following formula (1) and formula (2): EBSHELL1lt; eBCORE (1); an EBCORElt (
electron beam COREt); eBSHELL2 (2) wherein EBCORE is the energy
band gap of the core, EBSHELL1 is the energy
band gap of the first shell, and EBSHELL2 is the energy
band gap of the second shell, and wherein EBCORE is the energy band gap of the core, EBSHELL1 is the energy band gap of the first shell, and EBSHELL2 is the energy band gap of the second shell.
