Patent ID: 8339331

Claim:
An electro-optical device comprising: first display elements each divided into at least a first region and a second region, second display elements each divided into at least a third region and a fourth region, and the first display elements and the second display elements being arranged such that each third region is disposed between the first region and the second region of the adjacent first display element and each second region is disposed between the third region and the fourth region of the adjacent second display element; a parallax barrier provided on a side of the first display elements and the second display elements adjacent to a viewer, the parallax barrier having light transmitting regions at positions thereof corresponding to boundaries between adjoining first and third regions as well as between adjoining second and fourth regions; and a spacer layer separating the first display elements and the second display elements from the parallax barrier, wherein the first region and the second region are electrically connected to each other so as to be supplied with a first voltage corresponding to a first image through a first switching element from a first data line, and both the first region and the second region display the first image, the first region and the second region are positioned at one side of the first data line without any other data lines intervening therebetween, and the third region and the fourth region are electrically connected to each other so as to be supplied with a second voltage corresponding to a second image, and both the third region and the fourth region display the second image that is different from the first image.
