Abstract
An electro-optical device includes a transistor, a data line, a pixel-potential-side capacitor electrode, a relay layer, an output line, a first and a second scanning line. The transistor includes a first and a second gate electrode. The data line is connected to the transistor via a first contact hole. The relay layer is formed from the same film as the data line, and connected to the pixel-potential-side capacitor electrode via a second contact hole. The output line is formed from the same film as the data line and allows the scan signal from a driving circuit to pass therethrough. The first scanning line is formed from the same film as the first gate electrode and connected to the output line via a third contact hole. The third contact hole is opened in the same process of opening the first contact hole. The second scanning line is formed from the same film as the second gate electrode and connected to the output line via a fourth contact hole. The fourth contact hole includes a first opening opened in the same process of opening the first contact hole and a second opening opened in the same process of opening the second contact hole. The first and the second opening overlap each other.
