Abstract: According to an aspect of the invention, there is provided an electro-optical device comprising: an electro-optical element having electric terminals and a support for supporting said electro-optical element, said support comprising a substrate, at least an electrode for electrical connection to an electric terminal of the electro-optical element, and a reflective member, said reflective member being disposed on the substrate surface over a perimeter of the electro-optical element, so as to reflect electromagnetic radiation to or from the electro-optical element via said reflective member when in use. The reflective member is contained in a recess provided in or on the substrate surface having a transparent cover covering said recess. The reflective member is formed of a metal that is in liquid state when in use. Advantages may include improved reflective properties and less optical degradation.
