Electro-optical device and electronic apparatus
First Claim
1. An electro-optical device comprising:
- an electro-optical panel;
a supporting frame of the electro-optical device that supports the electro-optical panel either directly or indirectly;
a resin base frame member that composes the supporting frame; and
a metal member integrally formed with and extending along at least substantial portions of the length and/or width of the resin base frame, the metal member including an embedded portion that is covered inside the resin base frame member and an exposed portion that is exposed from the resin base frame member,wherein the exposed portion of the metal member has an inner exposed portion that is exposed at a middle face of the inside of the supporting frame viewed along the thickness direction of the supporting frame; and
at least one of the electro-optical panel, which is supported inside the supporting frame, and other member is in contact with the inner exposed portion of the metal member,wherein the embedded portion of the metal member has a bent cross-sectional shape taken along a section of the supporting frame, and the bend of the metal member occurs in the interior of the resin base frame member.

Abstract
The invention relates to an electro-optical device having an electro-optical panel and a supporting frame that supports the electro-optical panel either directly or indirectly. The supporting frame of the electro-optical device according to an aspect of the invention includes: a resin base frame member; and a metal member that has an embedded portion that is covered inside the resin base frame member and an exposed portion that is exposed from the resin base frame member. In the configuration of the electro-optical device of the invention, the exposed portion of the metal member has an inner exposed portion that is exposed at a middle face of the inside of the supporting frame viewed along the thickness direction of the supporting frame. At least one of the electro-optical panel, which is supported inside the supporting frame, and other member is in contact with the inner exposed portion of the metal member.
