<p>An electro-optical device comprises a pair of substrates (1, 2) with a liquid crystal layer (3) sandwiched therebetween. A counter electrode (4) is positioned on one (1) of the substrates (1, 2) and pixel electrodes (5) and nonlinear elements for driving the pixel electrodes are positioned on the other substrate (2), the nonlinear elements comprising a first conductor (6), an insulator (7a) and a second conductor (8). The capacitance ratio of the capacitance of the pixel electrodes to that of the nonlinear elements is at a value at which the contrast against capacitance ratio characteristic assumes a maximum at normal use temperatures or the surface area ratio of the surface area of the pixel electrodes to that of the nonlinear elements is at a value at which the contrast against surface area ratio characteristic assumes a maximum at normal use temperature. This allows to achieve a good quality electro-optical characteristic or display characteristic without requiring the capacitance of the nonlinear elements to be made extremely small. <IMAGE></p> |
