Abstract
The invention provides an electro-optical device includes a first substrate and a second substrate sandwiching an electro-optical substance. The substrates are provided with a sealing material disposed between the substrates, for bonding the substrates to each other at a sealing region disposed along the peripheries of the substrates. The first substrate is provided thereon with pixel electrodes, wires extending from the inside of an image display region to the outside of the sealing region, and a vertically conducting pad disposed in the sealing region. The second substrate is provided thereon with an opposing electrode opposing the pixel electrodes and having a vertical conductor section opposing the vertically conducting pad. The sealing material includes an electrically conductive material at least in a portion of the sealing material disposed between the vertically conducting pad and the vertical conductor section, whereby the sealing material functions as a vertical conductor. With this arrangement, a configuration regarding the sealing material for bonding a pair of the substrates and vertical conduction between the pair of substrates can be simplified.
