Development of a photoreceptor, a cell that responds to incident electromagnetic radiation, particularly visible light. The specialization of organization of a photoreceptor, a cell that responds to incident electromagnetic radiation, particularly visible light. An example of this process is found in Drosophila melanogaster. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a neuron over time, from initial commitment of the cell to a specific fate, to the fully functional differentiated cell. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a photoreceptor cell found in the ocellus. Development of photoreceptors, sensory cells that react to the presence of light, found in the ocellus.
