Patent ID: 8817219

Claim:
A liquid crystal device comprising: an element substrate provided with an image display region in which a plurality of pixel electrodes are arranged, at one surface side; an opposing substrate provided with a common electrode to which a common potential is applied; a sealing material that bonds the element substrate to the opposing substrate; and a liquid crystal layer which is held within a region surrounded by the sealing material between the element substrate and the opposing substrate, wherein the one surface side of the element substrate is provided with a data line driving circuit portion, provided along a first end of the image display region, which is disposed between the first end of the image display region and a first side of the element substrate, a plurality of data lines that extend from an end of the data line driving circuit portion on the image display region side toward the inside of the image display region, a scanning line driving circuit portion, provided along a second end of the image display region intersecting the first end of the image display region, which is disposed between a second side of the element substrate intersecting the first side of the element substrate and the second end of the image display region, a plurality of scanning lines that extend from an end of the scanning line driving circuit portion on the image display region side toward the inside of the image display region, and an electrode, to which a potential different from the common potential is applied, that extends between the image display region and the sealing material so as to be along the sealing material at least between the end of the data line driving circuit portion on the image display region side and the sealing material, or between the end of the scanning line driving circuit portion on the image display region side and the sealing material, and wherein the electrode does not overlap at least one of: each of the plurality of data lines, each of the plurality of scanning lines.
