Abstract

An electro-optical device includes an electro-optical panel including a pair of first panel alignment marks having a first shape and a pair of second panel alignment marks having a second shape; a first circuit substrate provided with a first circuit substrate alignment mark which is represented by the first shape in plan view; and a second circuit substrate provided with a second circuit substrate alignment mark which is represented by the second shape in plan view.

Claims (22)

1. An electro-optical device comprising:

an electro-optical panel including:

a first terminal portion on which a plurality of terminals are arranged in a predetermined direction;

a pair of first panel alignment marks having a first shape provided in both end sides for the predetermined direction of the first terminal portion

a second terminal portion on which a plurality of terminals are arranged in the predetermined direction; and

a pair of second panel alignment marks having a second shape provided in both end sides for the predetermined direction of the second terminal portion, the second shape being different from the first shape in a direction of a characteristic portion thereof or being different from the first shape in a shape thereof; and

a first circuit substrate provided with a first connection terminal portion electrically connected to the first terminal portion, the first circuit substrate being provided with a first circuit substrate alignment mark which is represented by the first shape in plan view, which is not overlapped each other upon superimposing the first panel alignment mark in a reference position, and which is set as the predetermined shape in a shape upon incorporation; and

a second circuit substrate provided with a second connection terminal portion electrically connected to the second terminal portion, the second circuit substrate being provided with a second circuit substrate alignment mark which is represented by the second shape in plan view, which is not overlapped each other upon superimposing the second panel alignment mark in a reference position, and which is set as the predetermined shape in a shape upon incorporation.

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

wherein the direction of the characteristic portion is a direction indicating a relative arrangement relationship of the first terminal portion and the second terminal portion for the electro-optical panel.

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

wherein the shape of the characteristic portion is a convex shape or a concave shape.

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

wherein a distance between the pair of the first panel alignment marks and a distance between the pair of the second panel alignment marks are substantially equal.

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

wherein the first circuit substrate alignment mark is represented by the first shape in plan view and is formed to surround the first shape, and

the second circuit substrate alignment mark is represented by the second shape in plan view and is formed to surround the second shape.

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

wherein the electro-optical device has a uniform gap over the entire circumferences of the first shape and the second shape upon aligning the first panel alignment mark and the first circuit substrate alignment mark, and the second panel alignment mark and the second circuit substrate alignment mark.

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

wherein an arc shape is included in a part of the first shape and the second shape.

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