Patent ID: 7164408

Claim:
An electro-optical device, comprising: data lines extending in a predetermined direction; scanning lines crossing the data lines; a display region including pixel electrodes, pixel switching elements disposed in correspondence with intersections of the scanning lines and the data lines, and storage capacitors, the storage capacitors including electrodes separated by a dielectric film, image signals from the data lines being supplied to the pixel electrodes through corresponding pixel switching elements; capacitor electrode wiring lines extending in a direction crossing the data lines; a data line driving circuit that drives the data lines, the data line driving circuit being located at one side of the display region; and capacitors located external to the display region at the opposite side of the display region than the data line driving circuit, the capacitors including first electrodes and second electrodes, the first electrodes including conductive layers connected to the data lines without any switching element between the conductive layers and the data lines, the second electrodes including other conductive layers connected to the capacitor electrode wiring lines, the first and second electrodes of the capacitors being separated by the same dielectric film of the storage capacitors in the display region.
