Abstract
An electro-optical device includes a display area configured to display an image and a peripheral area provided outside the display area in plan view. The electro-optical device includes a first substrate, a second substrate facing the first substrate, and an electro-optical layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and having an optical characteristic changing in accordance with an electric field. One or both of the first substrate and the second substrate include a light blocking layer provided in the peripheral area and a reflection layer provided in the peripheral area. A reflectance of the reflection layer with respect to visible light is higher than a reflectance of the light blocking layer with respect to visible light. The light blocking layer is disposed closer to the display area than the reflection layer is to the display area.
