Abstract

An electro-optical device includes: a holding capacitor provided in each pixel; a holding capacitance line connected to the holding capacitor; and an electric potential applying portion that applies an electric potential to the holding capacitance line. Both ends of the holding capacitance line are connected to the electric potential applying portion.

Claims (30)

1 . An electro-optical device comprising:

a holding capacitor provided in each pixel;

a holding capacitance line connected to the holding capacitor; and

an electric potential applying portion that applies an electric potential to the holding capacitance line,

wherein both ends of the holding capacitance line are connected to the electric potential applying portion.

2 . An electro-optical device comprising:

a holding capacitor provided in each pixel;

a holding capacitance line connected to the holding capacitor; and

an electric potential applying portion that applies an electric potential to the holding capacitance line,

wherein the electric potential applying portion has a plurality of electric potential applying paths provided in a part thereof, the plurality of electric potential applying paths being connected in parallel to each other.

3 . The electro-optical device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the plurality of electric potential applying paths include a path passing through a test pad.

4 . The electro-optical device according to claim 2 ,

wherein both the ends of the holding capacitance line are connected to the electric potential applying portion.

5 . A substrate for an electro-optical device comprising:

a holding capacitor provided in each pixel;

a holding capacitance line connected to the holding capacitor; and

an electric potential applying portion that applies an electric potential to the holding capacitance line,

wherein both ends of the holding capacitance line are connected to the electric potential applying portion.

6 . A substrate for an electro-optical device comprising:

a holding capacitor provided in each pixel;

a holding capacitance line connected to the holding capacitor; and

an electric potential applying portion that applies an electric potential to the holding capacitance line,

wherein the electric potential applying portion has a plurality of electric potential applying paths provided in a part thereof, the plurality of electric potential applying paths being connected in parallel to each other.

7 . The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a pixel electrode provided in each pixel;

a pixel transistor connected to the pixel electrode;

a gate line and a data line connected to the pixel transistor; and

a driving circuit that outputs an electric potential applied to the gate line, the data line, and the electric potential applying portion,

wherein the driving circuit sequentially applies a high-level electric potential to the gate lines, applies an electric potential of display data to the data line during a period for which the gate line is in a high level to thereby apply the electric potential of the display data to the pixel electrode, and inverts the electric potential applied to the electric potential applying portion after the electric potential of the gate line has changed from a high level to a low level.
