Abstract:
1. An electro-optic device comprising: first and second substrates that are disposed to face each other; a liquid crystal layer that is disposed between the first and second substrates; a pixel area including a plurality of pixels and a peripheral area around the pixel area; first electrodes that apply voltage to the liquid crystal layer in the pixel area; second electrodes that apply voltage to the liquid crystal layer in the peripheral area for shielding the peripheral area from light; a power supply unit that supplies power source potential to the second electrodes to apply the voltage to the liquid crystal layer; a seal member surrounding the peripheral area; and a boundary light shielding film overlapping an inner portion of the peripheral area surrounding the pixel area at a boundary with the pixel area, the boundary light shielding film blocking a portion of light incident upon the peripheral area, wherein the peripheral area includes an outer portion surrounding the boundary light shielding film between the boundary light shielding film and the seal member that is not overlapped with the boundary light shielding film.
