Abstract

In an electro-optical device, a pixel electrode is provided in a first light-transmitting substrate, and a lens, which overlaps the pixel electrode in a plan view, and a common electrode are provided in a second light-transmitting substrate. The pixel electrode includes an ITO film which includes a first electrically conducting layer stacked a first light-transmitting dielectric layer, and the common electrode includes a second electrically conducting layer which includes an ITO film which is stacked a second light-transmitting dielectric layer. Therefore, it is possible to suppress wavelength dispersion in a case in which incident light is modulated and is emitted. The first dielectric layer includes a silicon oxide film and the second dielectric layer includes an aluminum oxide film.
