Abstract
An electro-optical device includes a contact hole configured to electrically connect a scanning line and a gate electrode of a TFT as a transistor, the contact hole being provided, in plan view, along a semiconductor layer of the TFT and including a body portion spaced apart from a channel region of the semiconductor layer by a first distance, and a protruded portion protruding from the body portion toward a region other than the channel region of the semiconductor layer, and spaced apart from the region other than the channel region by a second distance, which is less than the first distance.
