Abstract

An electro-optical device includes a panel having an electro-optical material with terminals in an end portion thereof, a wiring board connected to the terminals, a protective member fixed to the panel, a space portion defined by the end portion of the panel and the protective member, and a space filling member provided in the space portion between the end portion of the panel and the protective member.

Claims

1. An electro-optical device comprising:

a panel having an electro-optical material with terminals in an end portion thereof;

a wiring board connected to the terminals;

a protective member fixed to the panel;

a space portion defined by the end portion of the panel and the protective member; and

a space filling member provided in the space portion between the end portion of the panel and the protective member.

2. The electro-optical device according to claim 1,

wherein the space filling member is fixed to the panel.

7. An electronic apparatus having mounted thereon the electro-optical device according to claim 1.

3. An electronic apparatus comprising:
