Abstract

An electro-optical panel including a display region includes a first terminal group including a plurality of first terminals arranged along a first side of a liquid crystal panel; and a second terminal group disposed between the first terminal group and the display region and including a plurality of second terminals arranged along the first side, in which the number of the plurality of second terminals is smaller than the number of the plurality of first terminals.

Claims (48)

1. An electro-optical device comprising:

an electro-optical panel comprising:

a display region;

a first terminal group including a plurality of first terminals arranged along a first side of the electro-optical panel; and

a first wiring substrate including a first external terminal electrically coupled to the first terminal of the first terminal group; and

a second wiring substrate including a second external terminal electrically coupled to the second terminal of the second terminal group, wherein

a number of the plurality of second terminals is smaller than a number of the plurality of first terminals, and

a difference between a width of the second terminal and a width of the second external terminal is greater than a difference between a width of the first terminal and a width of the first external terminal.

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

the plurality of first terminals are arranged in the first terminal group at a first terminal pitch, and

the plurality of second terminals are arranged in the second terminal group at a second terminal pitch greater than the first terminal pitch.

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

a width of each of the plurality of second terminals is wider than a width of each of the plurality of first terminals.

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

a width of the second terminal group is narrower than a width of the first terminal group.

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

a number of terminals supplied with power from the second wiring substrate, among the plurality of second terminals, is greater than a number of terminals supplied with power from the first wiring substrate among the plurality of first terminals.

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

a pixel electrode disposed in the display region;

a first retention capacitor line disposed in the display region and supplied with a predetermined potential;

a retention capacitor including a first electrode coupled to the pixel electrode and a second electrode coupled to the first retention capacitor line;

a retention capacitor terminal included in the plurality of second terminals and supplied with the predetermined potential; and

a second retention capacitor line configured to electrically couple the first retention capacitor line and the retention capacitor terminal.

7. The electro-optical device according to claim 6 , wherein

the retention capacitor terminal is disposed on an outermost side among the plurality of second terminals included in the second terminal group.

8. The electro-optical device according to claim 7 , wherein

the second retention capacitor line is coupled to the first retention capacitor line at one side of the display region in an extension direction of the first side, and

the second terminal group has a center position disposed so as to be shifted from a midpoint of the first side toward the one side of the display region in the extension direction of the first side.

9. The electro-optical device according to claim 6 , comprising:

a data line driving circuit;

a plurality of image signal terminals included in the plurality of first terminals and supplied with an image signal; and

a plurality of image signal lines configured to electrically couple the plurality of image signal terminals and the data line driving circuit.

10. The electro-optical device according to claim 9 , wherein
