An electro-optical device comprises: an upper frame formed of a metal having an opening formed therein and having open portions formed in at least two corners thereof; an electro-optical panel having an electro-optical substance sealed between a pair of plates and arranged below the upper frame; a light guide plate arranged below the electro-optical panel; and an intermediate frame having a frame shape, arranged below the light guide plate, and being applied to support the electro-optical panel and the light guide plate. The electro-optical panel and the light guide plate is sandwiched between the upper frame and the intermediate frame. The peripheral edge along the four sides of the electro-optical panel is bonded to the upper frame by an adhesion element, and at least two corners of the intermediate frame are exposed in the open portions of the upper frame.

Electro-optical device, electronic apparatus, and method of producing electro-optical device

An apparatus for providing a flat panel display device such as a liquid crystal display device, which allows a liquid crystal panel supported by a supporting member to be easily attached to a device by means of automation. According to this flat panel display, a recess is formed in a thick part . A flexible interconnection board is introduced into the recess via an opening recess . The part of the flexible interconnection board introduced in the recess is reinforced by a stiffener adhesively bonded to the flexible interconnection board . The stiffener is firmly attached to the bottom face of the recess via fixing means . A rubber connector is adhesively bonded to the surface, opposite to the adhesive surface to which the stiffener is bonded, of the flexible interconnection board . The rubber connector is formed of an elastic base member made of synthetic rubber or the like and a large number of conductive wires extending through the elastic base member in a direction from the front to back sides of the elastic base member
