Abstract
The invention provides an electro-optical device having a light-shielding layer for preventing light from entering semiconductor elements. In particular, a liquid crystal display device of the present invention includes an electro-optical material between an element substrate having pixel electrodes and an opposing substrate facing the element substrate. The element substrate includes semiconductor elements for driving the pixel electrodes, insulation films covering the semiconductor element, and a reflective plate disposed on the insulation films, the reflective plate having openings. The semiconductor elements adjacent to the element substrate includes a light-shielding layer for shielding the semiconductor element from incident light, the light-shielding layer having openings in substantially the same regions as the openings in the reflective plate.
