Abstract

An electrical device includes a first substrate and a second substrate which are disposed in an opposing manner so as to interpose a functional element, a first electrode (rear surface electrode) which is provided more to the first substrate side than the functional element, a second electrode which is provided on the second substrate and is electrically connected to the first electrode, and a functional element and an electronic component which drives the functional element in a region which is a region where the first substrate and the second substrate overlap and which is interposed between the first electrode and the second electrode.

Claims (37)

1. An electrical device comprising:

the functional element and an electronic component which drives the functional element in a region which is a region where the first substrate and the second substrate overlap and which is interposed between the first electrode and the second electrode,

wherein at least a portion of the second substrate and the second electrode are disposed so as to wrap around to the first substrate side.

2. The electrical device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second electrode is a common electrode of the functional element.

3. The electrical device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first substrate is a laminate of a plurality of base materials, and

the first electrode or the electronic component is respectively disposed on the surface of the first substrate or between the plurality of base materials.

4. The electrical device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a third substrate is provided on the rear surface of the first substrate,

the first electrode is disposed between the first substrate and the third substrate, and

the first electrode is electrically connected with a portion of the second electrode via an external connection terminal which is connected to the electronic component provided on the rear surface.

5. The electrical device according to claim 1 ,

wherein at least a portion of the second substrate and the second electrode are disposed to wrap around onto the rear surface of the first substrate, and

the first electrode is electrically connected to a portion of the second electrode via an external connection terminal which is connected to the electronic component provided on the rear surface.

6. The electrical device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first electrode is embedded in the first substrate.

7. The electrical device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first electrode is provided on the rear surface of the first substrate.
