Abstract: An electro-optical device includes a scanning-line driving circuit disposed in a peripheral region around the pixel area, and supplies, through scanning lines, a plurality of scanning signals to a plurality of pixel portions in the pixel area. The data-line driving circuit is disposed in the peripheral region, and supplies a plurality of sampling signals to a sampling circuit, which samples image signals and supplies the sampled image signals to data lines. A light-shielding film covers only the scanning-line driving circuit and the data-line driving circuit of a peripheral circuit portion disposed in the peripheral region.

Abstract: An electro-optical device including a first substrate, a second substrate facing the first substrate, with a sealing material interposed between the first and second substrates, liquid crystals being interposed in at least an effective pixel region between the first and second substrates, comprises an alignment layer that is formed on at least one of the first and second substrates immediately below the sealing material and aligns the liquid crystals, and a lower layer formed below the alignment layer, wherein a transparent conductive layer that is firmly adhered to the alignment layer and the lower layer is formed in a region covering at least the sealing material between the alignment layer and the lower layer.

Abstract: An image signal processor circuit outputs image signals. A data line driver circuit generates sampling control signals to sample the image signals, by using a clock and an enable signal. A timing generator sets active periods of the enable signal which make the sampling possible, in periods which are other than periods including the rise or fall timings of the clock. Thus, the clock neither rises nor falls at timings at which the image signals are sampled, so that high frequency noise ascribable to the clock can be reduced or prevented from mixing into the image signals.
