Abstract

An electro-optical device that drives each of plural pixels individually arranged in two dimensions so as to display information, is provided with a group of pixels displaying the information within an effective display region among the plural pixels arranged in two dimensions. A group of plural pseudo-pixels that do not contribute to the display of the information are located adjacent to a group of pixels within the effective display region. A bank layer separates a pixel in the group of the plural pseudo-pixels from a pixel in the group of pixels in the effective display region, and shields light leaked from a space between pixels located adjacently each other within the effective display region.

Claims (5)

1. A method of manufacturing an electro-optical device, the electro-optical device including a data drive circuit and a substrate having an effective display region and a pseudo-pixel region being positioned outside of the display region, the effective display region including a plurality of display pixels, the pseudo-pixel region not contributing a display, the method comprising:

forming organic EL layers on the effective display region and the pseudo-pixel region, wherein the organic EL layers formed on the pseudo-pixel region are disposed above a data line drive circuit.

2. A method of manufacturing an electro-optical device, the electro-optical device including a data drive circuit and, a substrate having an effective display region and a pseudo-pixel region being positioned outside of the display region, the effective display region including a plurality of display pixels, the pseudo-pixel region not contributing a display, the method comprising:

forming organic EL layers on the effective display region and the pseudo-pixel region, wherein the organic EL layers formed on the pseudo-pixel region are disposed above a scanning line drive circuit.

3. The method of manufacturing the electro-optical device according to claim 2 , the organic EL layers formed by an inkjet method.
