Abstract

A liquid crystal device includes a first dummy pixel and a second dummy pixel adjacent to each other in an X direction, in which width of a first portion of a scanning line between a first transistor of the first dummy pixel and a second transistor of the second dummy pixel is larger than width of a second portion of the scanning line between the second transistor and a third transistor of a pixel.

Claims (16)

1. An electro-optical device that includes a display region where a plurality of pixels are arranged in a first direction and a second direction intersecting with the first direction, a dummy pixel region including a plurality of dummy pixels that are arranged outside of the display region, and a circuit region that is positioned outside of the dummy pixel region and including a circuit that drives the plurality of pixels, the device comprising:

a first transistor that is positioned in a first dummy pixel, the first dummy pixel being positioned at a position closest to the circuit region;

a second transistor that is positioned in a second dummy pixel adjacent to the first dummy pixel on the opposite side to the circuit region in the first direction;

a third transistor that is positioned adjacent to the second transistor in the first direction; and

a gate wiring extended in the first direction and electrically connected with each of the first transistor, the second transistor and the third transistor,

wherein width in the second direction of a first portion of the gate wiring between the first transistor and the second transistor is larger than width in the second direction of a second portion of the gate wiring between the second transistor and the third transistor.

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

a first dummy pixel shielding film for shielding the first dummy pixel from light and a second dummy pixel shielding film for shielding the second dummy pixel from light that are provided in the same layer as the gate wiring,

wherein a slit whose width is less than 1 μm is formed between the gate wiring and the first dummy pixel shielding film and between the gate wiring and the second dummy pixel shielding film.

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

wherein a distance between the slit and a first gate contact for electrically connecting a gate of the first transistor to the gate wiring is longer than a distance between the slit and a second gate contact for electrically connecting a gate of the second transistor to the gate wiring.

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

wherein the gate wiring is formed using metal silicide.

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

wherein respective gate electrodes of the first transistor, the second transistor, and the third transistor are formed using a conductive poly-silicon film.

6. An electronic apparatus comprising the electro-optical device according to claim 1 .
