Abstract:
1. An electro-optical device comprising: a frame including a conduction part and a resin part; an electro-optical panel that is housed in an inner side of the resin part; and an exposure part that is formed by exposing the conduction part from the resin part, wherein the exposure part is disposed to face at least a part of an end face of the electro-optical panel and protrude from a viewing surface of the electro-optical panel over the end face, wherein the resin portion does not extend between the end face of the electro-optical panel and the exposure part so that a gap is formed between the end face of the electro-optical panel and the exposure part, wherein in the resin part of the frame, corner parts are located in each of a plurality of corners of the frame, and the end faces of the electro-optical panel contact the corner parts and do not contact the conduction part, wherein the conduction part is a metal plate disposed at least along the end face of the electro-optical panel and being integrally formed with the resin part, the metal plate including at least one bend that is formed by bending the metal plate inward or outward relative to the electro-optical panel and a bended end of the metal plate is embedded in the resin part, and wherein a top of the bend portion is higher than a top surface of the electro-optical panel wherein the electro-optical panel includes a polarizing plate on a viewing surface side, and wherein the top surface of the electro-optical panel is a top surface of the polarizing plate; wherein an outermost part of the frame is a portion of the resin part that surrounds the conduction part, and wherein the bend of the conduction part is bent outwards relative to the electro-optical panel, and the bended end of the metal plate that includes the bend is embedded in the portion of the resin part that surrounds the conduction part.
