Abstract

An electro-optical device provided with a plurality of pixel sections, includes: a first substrate having a plurality of light-emitting elements to configure the plurality of pixel sections; a second substrate having a driving circuit to control light emission of the plurality of light-emitting elements, respectively, and disposed so as to face an element forming surface of the first substrate; and a plurality of conductive connectors provided between the first substrate and the second substrate, and electrically connect the plurality of light-emitting elements, respectively, to the driving circuit. The plurality of conductive connectors are disposed in a staggered manner at least along a first arrangement direction of the plurality of pixel sections.

Claims (14)

1. An electro-optical device provided with a plurality of pixel sections, comprising:

a first substrate having a plurality of light-emitting elements to configure the plurality of pixel sections, the plurality of pixel sections being arranged in a staggered manner in adjacent rows in a first arrangement direction such that the pixel sections in adjacent rows are shifted by about a half of a pixel section;

a second substrate having a driving circuit to control light emission of the plurality of light-emitting elements, respectively, and disposed so as to face an element forming surface of the first substrate; and

a plurality of conductive connectors provided between the first substrate and the second substrate, and electrically connect the plurality of light-emitting elements, respectively, to the driving circuit, wherein

the plurality of conductive connectors are disposed in the staggered manner at least along the first arrangement direction of the plurality of pixel sections, the staggered manner of the plurality of conductive members being staggered when the plurality of pixel sections are viewed from a surface of the first substrate.

2. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of conductive connectors are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of pixel sections, respectively.

3. The electro-optical device according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of conductive connectors are disposed approximately in a center of the plurality of pixel sections, respectively.

4. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of pixel sections are disposed linearly to the first arrangement direction and a second arrangement direction perpendicular to the first arrangement direction, respectively, and

the plurality of conductive connectors are in the one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of pixel sections, respectively, and also disposed in the staggered manner along the first arrangement direction.

5. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of conductive connectors are formed by curing a conductive material in paste form, respectively.

6. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of light-emitting elements are an organic electroluminescence element, respectively.

7. An electronic apparatus comprising the electro-optical device according to claim 1 .
