An electro-optical device includes a display electrode disposed in an
image display region of a TFT array substrate, a pattern portion
including at least one of wiring and a circuit element connected to the
display electrode directly or through a pixel switching element and
provided in a frame region, which defines the periphery of the image
display region, and a lower shielding film for covering the TFT array
substrate side of at least a portion of the pattern portion. Therefore,
in the electro-optical device such as a liquid crystal device, a
light-dark pattern due to the wiring and the circuit element provided in
the frame region can be prevented from being projected near the edge of a
display image.
