Abstract

An electro-optical device includes a substrate, a plurality of external connection terminals provided on the substrate, an electronic component mounted on the substrate and having a plurality of terminals, and a plurality of wires that electrically connect the plurality of external connection terminals to the plurality of terminals of the electronic component. A constant-potential wire is provided in the vicinity of locations of connections of at least some of the plurality of wires with the respective terminals of the electronic component.

Claims (28)

1. An electro-optical device, comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of external connection terminals provided on the substrate;

an electronic component mounted on the substrate and having a plurality of terminals;

a plurality of wires that electrically connect the plurality of external connection terminals to the plurality of terminals of the electronic component, respectively; and

a constant-potential wire provided in the vicinity of the terminals of the electronic component, and on an opposite side of the terminals of the electronic component with respect to the external connection terminals.

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

the wires extend from the external connection terminals to the respective terminals of the electronic component, and further project beyond the terminals of the electronic component toward the constant-potential wire; and

the constant-potential wire is provided at a predetermined interval from projecting portions of said wires.

3. The electro-optical device according to claim 2 , wherein widths of the wires at connection locations where the wires are connected with the respective terminals of the electronic component are larger than widths of the respective terminals of the electronic component.

4. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein the constant-potential wire is integrally provided with the wire among the plurality of wires that is adapted to supply a constant potential from the associated external connection terminal to the electronic component.

5. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein the constant-potential wire is grounded.

6. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein the wires are tapered so as to become narrower from the external connection terminals towards the respective terminals of the electronic component.

7. An electronic apparatus, comprising: the electro-optical device of claim 1 .

8. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein the constant-potential wire is connected to the external connection terminal of a ground potential among the plurality of external connection terminals.

9. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein the constant-potential wire is located under the electronic component.

10. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein the constant-potential wire or at least one of the wires opposing the constant-potential wire is provided with a protrusion that protrudes towards the wire opposing the constant-potential wire or the constant-potential wire, respectively.

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

wherein more than two of the wires include extension portions that extend beyond connection locations, where said more than two wires are electrically connected to the respective terminals of the electronic component, away from the respective external connection terminals and toward the constant-potential wire, thereby forcing any electrostatic discharge between said more than two wires and the constant-potential wire to occur in the extension portions rather than in the respective connection locations.

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

the terminals of the electronic component connected to said wires are arranged in a row, and a lengthwise direction of the constant-potential wire extends along said row.

13. An electro-optical device comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of external connection terminals provided on the substrate;

an electronic component mounted on the substrate and having a plurality of terminals; and

a plurality of wires that electrically connect the plurality of external connection terminals to the plurality of terminals of the electronic component;

wherein a constant-potential wire is provided in the vicinity of locations of connections of at least some of the plurality of wires with the respective terminals of the electronic component; and

wherein at least the constant-potential wire or wire opposing the constant-potential wire is provided with a protrusion that protrudes towards the wire opposing the constant-potential wire or the constant-potential wire.
