Abstract

An electro-optical device includes: a display panel module having electronic parts provided therein; and an insulating tape that is adhered to the display panel module so as to cover the electronic parts. The insulating tape includes an adhesive portion and a non-adhesive portion. The non-adhesive portion is disposed at a position that covers a region in which the electronic parts are provided, and the adhesive portion is adhered to the display panel module in regions other than the region in which the electronic parts are provided.

Claims (28)

1. An electro-optical device comprising:

a display panel module having electronic parts provided therein; and

an insulating tape that is adhered to the display panel module so as to cover the electronic parts,

wherein the insulating tape includes an adhesive portion and a non-adhesive portion,

the non-adhesive portion is disposed at a position that covers a region in which the electronic parts are provided, and

the adhesive portion is adhered to the display panel module in regions other than the region in which the electronic parts are provided.

2. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein the display panel module includes a frame, and the insulating tape is adhered to the frame.

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

wherein the frame includes a window that exposes the electronic parts, and

the insulating tape is adhered to the frame at the edge of the window.

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

wherein the frame and the electronic parts are arranged such that they overlap each other in the thickness direction of the frame.

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

wherein the height of the electronic parts is smaller than the thickness of the frame.

6. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display panel module includes a flexible substrate, and

the electronic parts are provided on the flexible substrate.

7. The electro-optical device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the display panel module includes a display panel, and

the flexible substrate is connected to the display panel.

8. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display panel module includes a flexible substrate, and

the insulating tape is adhered to the flexible substrate.

9. The electro-optical device according to claim 8 ,

wherein the display panel module includes a frame,

the frame is arranged so as to overlap the flexible substrate, and

the frame includes a window that exposes the electronic parts covered with the insulating tape.

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