1. An electro-optical device comprising:

  • a frame including a conduction part; and

    an electro-optical panel that is housed in an inner side of the frame, the electro-optical panel including a pair of substrates and a liquid crystal layer formed between the substrates, and a polarizing plate disposed on a top surface of a viewing side of the electro-optical panel,wherein the conduction part is a metal plate disposed at least along a side surface of the electro-optical panel,wherein the metal plate includes;

    at least one bend that is formed by bending the metal plate inward or outward relative to the electro-optical panel, and a bended end of the metal plate is embedded in the frame, andan exposure part that is formed by exposing the conduction part from the frame, the exposure part being disposed to face at least a part of a side surface of the electro-optical panel and protruding from a viewing surface of the electro-optical panel over the side surface,wherein the electro-optical device further comprises an insulation member that is disposed to fill a gap formed between, and extend an entire distance between a side surface of at least one of the substrates or polarizing plate of the electro-optical panel and a panel side surface of the at least one bend, the panel side surface facing the side surface of the electro-optical panel, andwherein a top of the exposure part is higher than the polarizing plate that is higher than the liquid crystal layer and that is the top surface of the electro-optical panel.
