Abstract

Inter-substrate connection terminals are provided between four corners of an opposed substrate and a TFT substrate. Lines are provided between first and second terminals in the TFT substrate and an external circuit connection terminal. Lines are provided between first and second terminals, between first and third terminals, between the third and fourth terminals, and between second and fourth terminals, respectively. Lines bypassing the first terminal are provided between lines. A line bypassing the second terminal is provided between lines.

Claims (27)

1. An electro-optical device comprising:

a first substrate that is provided with an external circuit connection terminal;

a second substrate that is opposed to the first substrate with an electro-optical substance layer interposed therebetween;

a plurality of inter-substrate connection terminals that are provided in the first substrate to be electrically connected to the second substrate;

a first line that is provided on the first substrate from the external circuit connection terminal to at least one of the inter-substrate connection terminals;

a second line that is provided on the first substrate to electrically connect the inter-substrate connection terminals to each other; and

a third line that is provided on the first substrate to bypass the inter-substrate connection terminals from the first line to the second line.

2. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein the third line reaches the second line from the first line through many curves, and a curve angle of each curved point that is an obtuse angle.

3. The electro-optical device according to claim 2 , wherein the inter-substrate connection terminal includes a first side extending in a first direction, and a second side and third side intersecting in the first direction,

wherein the third line includes a first linear portion taken along the first side, a second linear portion connecting the first linear portion and the first line along the second side, and a third linear portion connecting the first linear portion and the second line along the third side, and

wherein an angle formed by the first linear portion and the second linear portion, and an angle formed by the first linear portion and the third linear portion are obtuse angles.

4. An electro-optical device comprising:

a first substrate that is provided with an external connection terminal;

a second substrate that is opposed to the first substrate and has a common electrode; and

an electro-optical substance layer that is interposed between the first substrate and the common electrode,

wherein the first substrate including:

a first terminal that is electrically connected to the common electrode,

a second terminal that is electrically connected to the common electrode,

a first wiring that is electrically connected to the external connection terminal and the first terminal,

a second wiring that is electrically connected to the first terminal and the second terminal, and

a third wiring that is electrically connected to the first wiring by direct and physical contact, is electrically connected to the second wiring by direct and physical contact, and is separated from the first terminal.

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

the external connection terminal is disposed between the first terminal and a first side of the first substrate, and

the third wiring is disposed between a second side crossing the first side of the first substrate and the first terminal, the first wiring or the second wiring.

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

the first wiring is wider than the second wiring, and

the second wiring is wider than the third wiring.
