Patent ID: 7589881

Claim:
An electro-optic device comprising: a plurality of pixels at least including first pixels that form a first image and second pixels that form a second image, the first pixels and the second pixels being arranged alternately in a first direction; and a light blocking element that overlaps the plurality of pixels in plan view, wherein the plurality of pixels are divided into a plurality of pixel groups, each pixel group corresponding to every two pixels of the plurality of pixels, the two pixels being one of the first pixels and one of the second pixels that are adjacent to each other in the first direction, wherein the light blocking element has openings, each opening being provided for a corresponding one of the pixel groups and located in a region that overlaps the two pixels of the pixel group in plan view, and wherein each first pixel has a light blocking region that partially intercepts light to be emitted from the first pixel, and each second pixel has a light blocking region that partially intercepts light to be emitted from the second pixel, the light blocking regions of the first pixel and the second pixel in each pixel group being positioned symmetrically to each other in plan view.
