Abstract

An electro-optical device includes an electro-optical panel having a display surface; an accommodation member having a side wall that accommodates the electro-optical panel; and a wiring substrate with an end portion thereof connected to the electro-optical panel, wherein the other end portion side of the wiring substrate is bent to the opposite side of the display surface of the electro-optical panel, wherein the other end portion side of the wiring substrate is bent in the state of coming into close-contact with the side wall of the accommodation member and is fixed to the accommodation member or an accommodation object member that is accommodated in the accommodation member, and wherein the wiring substrate is in close-contact with the side wall of the accommodation member in the state in which a tension acts between the one end portion side and the other end portion side.

Claims (21)

1. An electro-optical device comprising:

an electro-optical panel having a display surface;

an accommodation member having a curved side wall that accommodates the electro-optical panel; and

a wiring substrate with one end portion thereof connected to the electro-optical panel,

wherein the other end portion side of the wiring substrate is bent to the opposite side of the display surface of the electro-optical panel,

wherein the other end portion side of the wiring substrate is bent in a state of coming into close-contact with the curved side wall of the accommodation member and is fixed to the accommodation member or an accommodation object member that is accommodated in the accommodation member, and

wherein the wiring substrate is in direct contact with the curved side wall of the accommodation member in a state in which tension acts between the one end portion side and the other end portion side.

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

wherein the other end portion side of the wiring substrate is bonded to the accommodation member or the accommodation object member at a plurality of places.

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

wherein the other end portion side of the wiring substrate is bonded to the accommodation member or the accommodation object member by the entire surface thereof.

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

wherein the other end portion side of the wiring substrate is fixed to the accommodation member or the accommodation object member by jointly using a fixing unit by the bonding and a mechanical fixing unit.

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

wherein the outer surface side of the other end portion side of the wiring substrate is pushed to the accommodation member or the accommodation object member by a pushing material.

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

wherein the accommodation member includes a metallic portion which forms at least a bottom portion of the accommodation member, and a resin portion integrated with the metallic portion.

7. Electronic equipment comprising the electro-optical device according to claim 1 .

8. The electronic equipment according to claim 7 further comprising:

a housing that accommodates the electro-optical device,

wherein a pushing portion, which pushes and compresses the other end portion side of the wiring substrate in the electro-optical device to the accommodation member or the accommodation object member, is provided in the housing.
