Abstract

An electrooptic device includes: a first substrate including a first terminal group having a plurality of first terminals and a second terminal group having a plurality of second terminals; a second substrate including a third terminal group having a plurality of third terminals that are conductively connected to the plurality of corresponding first terminals; and a third substrate including a fourth terminal group having a plurality of fourth terminals that are conductively connected to the plurality of corresponding second terminals. The plurality of first terminals extend along a plurality of lines passing through a first common point apart from the first terminal group in a predetermined direction intersecting the direction of the array of the first terminals and are arrayed in line symmetry about an axis passing through the first common point. The plurality of second terminals extend along a plurality of lines passing through a second common point apart from the second terminal group in a predetermined direction intersecting the direction of the array of the second terminals and are arrayed in line symmetry about an axis passing through the second common point.
