Electro-optical device with a gap of the light shielding layer being in a non-overlapping condition with the drain and the source in plan view

摘要

An electro-optical device includes a display electrode disposed in an image display region of a TFT array substrate, a pattern portion including at least one of wiring and a circuit element connected to the display electrode directly or through a pixel switching element and provided in a frame region, which defines the periphery of the image display region, and a lower shielding film for covering the TFT array substrate side of at least a portion of the pattern portion. Therefore, in the electro-optical device such as a liquid crystal device, a light-dark pattern due to the wiring and the circuit element provided in the frame region can be prevented from being projected near the edge of a display image.
