Patent ID: 6963385

Claim:
An electrooptic device comprising an electrooptic material, a substrate for supporting the electrooptic material, and an IC chip mounted on the substrate, the IC chip comprising: a terminal column comprising a plurality of terminals arranged in a direction away from the electrooptic material; and a terminal row comprising a plurality of terminals arranged substantially perpendicular to terminals of the terminal column; wherein the terminal column comprises a first noneffective terminal region within a distance “A” from a first side of the IC chip located closest to the electrooptic material, an effective terminal region continuing from the first noneffective terminal region, and a second noneffective terminal region within a distance “B” from a second side of the IC chip, the second noneffective terminal region continuing from the effective terminal region, the first noneffective terminal region, the effective terminal region, and the second noneffective terminal region provided in that order when viewed from the electrooptic material; wherein A>B; and wherein the terminal row comprises a noneffective terminal region adjoining the first noneffective terminal region.
