Abstract
There is provided an electro-optical device including pixels arranged in a matrix, each pixel having a plurality of color-display sub-pixels corresponding to a plurality of colors and a monochrome-display sub-pixel. The color-display sub-pixel and the monochrome-display sub-pixel can perform gray-scale display independently. One of the color-display sub-pixel and the monochrome-display sub-pixel displays images in a transmissive mode in which light emitted from a light source is modulated, while the other sub-pixel displays images in a reflective mode in which light incident from outside is modulated.
