Abstract:
An electronic optical device, comprising:a first substrate on which pixel electrodes are formed, the first substrate having an outer surface; a second substrate opposing the first substrate, the second substrate having an outer surface; an electronic optical material disposed between the second substrate and the first substrate and sealed by a seal material; a third substrate provided at the outer surface of at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate; a display area formed more inner side than the seal material; a light-shielding film provided with an opposing surface side between the first substrate and the second substrate, the light-shielding film provided so as to define an inside edge of an effective display area; a light-shielding case made from light-shielding material and having an upper edge being formed so as to overlap an area for forming the seal material and a side edge connected to the upper edge and covering side faces of the first, second and third substrates the upper edge has a larger opening than the opening of the light-shielding film, and the light-shielding case accommodates the first substrate the second substrate and the third substrate such that the side edge prevents light from entering from the side faces of the first, second and third substrates; and a non-effective display area formed by the light shielding film and the edge of the light-shielding case.
