Abstract

An electrooptical device includes a substrate and an electronic component mounted on the substrate with an adhesive. The substrate has terminals arranged thereon and wiring lines connected to the terminals and extending in a column direction. The terminals are divided into at least one first terminal group and at least one second terminal group that does not overlap the first terminal group in the column direction. The terminals of the first terminal group are shifted from each other in a row direction so that the adjacent terminals overlap each other in the column direction. The terminals of the second terminal group are shifted from each other in the row direction so that the adjacent terminals overlap each other in the column direction.
