Abstract

An electro-optical device includes: a supporting unit that includes a first heat release member; a second heat release member that is provided at both of two sides with respect to the supporting unit, at least a part of the second heat release member being in contact with the first heat release member; an electro-optical panel that is provided at both of the two sides with respect to the supporting unit in such a manner that at least a part of a surface of the electro-optical panel opposite to a surface thereof from which light is emitted is in contact with a surface of the second heat release member; and a transparent film sheet that covers the surface of the electro-optical panel from which light is emitted.

Claims (13)

1. An electro-optical device comprising:

a supporting unit that includes a first heat release member;

a second heat release member that has a first portion and a second portion, which is different from the first portion,

the first portion of the second heat release member provided at one side with respect to the supporting unit,

the second portion of the second heat release member provided at the other side with respect to the supporting unit, and

at least a part of the second heat release member being in contact with the first heat release member;

a first electro-optical panel that is disposed on the first portion of the second heat release member; and

a second electro-optical panel that is disposed on the second portion of the second heat release member.

2. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting unit further includes a circuit section for controlling at least one of the first and second electro-optical panels and a battery for driving at least one of the first and second electro-optical panels; and at least one of the first and second electro-optical panels are connected to the circuit section via an FPC.

3. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein the second heat release member is a graphite sheet.

4. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , further comprising a first film sheet covering with a surface of the first electro-optical panel and a second film-sheet covering with a surface of the second electro-optical panel.

5. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , further comprising a third electro-optical panel, the second heat release member being disposed between the first electro-optical panel and the third electro-optical panel.

6. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein the electro-optical panel hasan organic EL element.
