Abstract
An electro-optical device includes: a pair of substrates facing one another across an electro-optical substance layer; and a layered structure formed on one of the substrates, including scanning lines formed in a first direction, data lines formed in a second direction intersecting the first direction, pixel electrodes formed corresponding to the intersections, transistors for controlling switching of the pixel electrodes, storage capacitors electrically connected to the pixel electrodes, and a fixed electrode layer for supplying fixed potential to one electrode of the storage capacitors, the scanning lines, data lines, transistors, and storage capacitors being arrayed within a light shielding region around the pixel electrodes; wherein the pixel electrodes, and a semiconductor layer where the transistors are formed, are electrically connected via an relay electrode layer at the same layer as the fixed electrode layer; and wherein the fixed electrode layer is discontinuous between adjacent data lines in the first direction.
