Abstract

A first constant potential wiring that supplies a first constant potential to a scanning line drive circuit and a second constant potential wiring that supplies the first constant potential to a clock buffer circuit are electrically separated from each other.

Claims (43)

1. An electro-optic device comprising:

a scanning line;

a signal line that intersects the scanning line;

a scanning line drive circuit that supplies a selected potential or a non-selected potential to the scanning line;

a pixel switching element that is provided corresponding to the intersection of the scanning line and the signal line, being in a conductive state in a case where the selected potential is applied to the scanning line and being in a non-conductive state in a case where the non-selected potential is applied to the scanning line;

a clock buffer circuit that waveform-shapes a clock signal supplied to the scanning line drive circuit;

a first wiring that supplies a first constant potential to the scanning line drive circuit; and

a second wiring that supplies the first constant potential to the clock buffer circuit,

wherein the first wiring and the second wiring are electrically separated from each other.

2. The electro-optic device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a signal line drive circuit that supplies an image signal to the signal line; and

a third wiring that supplies the first constant potential to the signal line drive circuit,

wherein the first wiring, the second wiring and the third wiring are electrically separated from one another.

3. The electro-optic device according to claim 1 , comprising:

the signal line drive circuit that supplies the image signal to the signal line,

wherein the first constant potential is supplied to the signal line drive circuit from the first wiring.

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

wherein a protection capacitor is formed, and

wherein the second wiring is electrically connected to the protection capacitor.

5. The electro-optic device according to claim 4 , comprising:

a rectangular display region,

wherein the protection capacitor is formed outside the display region along three sides of the display region.

6. The electro-optic device according to claim 4 , comprising:

an element substrate;

an opposing substrate; and

a sealing material bonding the element substrate and the opposing substrate,

wherein the sealing material is disposed along the outer edge portion of the element substrate, and

wherein the protection capacitor and the sealing material are at least partially overlapped with each other in a plan view.

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

wherein the protection capacitor is formed in a banded shape in a plan view.

8. The electro-optic device according to claim 4 ,

wherein an interlayer insulation film is formed, and

wherein a dielectric film of the protection capacitor is the interlayer insulation film.

9. The electro-optic device according to claim 4 ,

wherein a common electrode wiring is formed, and

wherein the second wiring is extended to one electrode of the protection capacitor, and the common electrode wiring is extended to the other electrode of the protection capacitor.

10. The electro-optic device according to claim 4 ,

wherein a fourth wiring that supplies the second constant potential which is different from the first constant potential is formed, and

wherein the second wiring is extended to one electrode of the protection capacitor, and the fourth wiring is extended to the other electrode of the protection capacitor.

11. The electro-optic device according to claim 4 ,

wherein a capacitance amount of the protection capacitor is equal to or higher than three pico Farad.

12. An electronic apparatus comprising:

the electro-optic device according to claim 1 .
