Aspects of the invention provide an electro-optical device including first
pixel portions each including an active element and second pixel portions
each not including any active element, the first and second pixel
portions being provided in an image display region of a substrate, a
first driving device for driving the first pixel portions in an active
driving method and a second driving device for driving the second pixel
portions in a passive driving method. Accordingly, the invention can
realize a display by using both an active driving method and a passive
driving method with a simple structure.
