An electro-optical device is provided that includes a protection layer formed on a first substrate leaving a region of the first substrate region exposed; a first electrode formed on the protection layer; a first inter-substrate conduction unit formed on the protection layer and electrically connected to the first electrode; a second substrate opposing the first substrate and having a second electrode formed thereon; a second inter-substrate conduction unit formed on the second substrate and electrically connected to the second electrode; and a conductive member interposed between the first inter-substrate conduction unit and the second inter-substrate conduction unit to electrically connect both units together. The electro-optical device further includes a sealant that contains the conductive member bonding the first substrate and the second substrate together by extending over the protection layer and the exposed region where the protection layer is not formed.
