Publication number: 20190196244Abstract: An electro-optical device includes two substrates (a first substrate and a second substrate) respectively having ends overlapped with each other and coupled to an electro-optical panel. Other ends of the two substrates respectively serve as a first terminal region and a second terminal region. The second substrate includes a third extended portion extending linearly to overlap with a first extended portion of the first substrate in a thickness direction, and a fourth extended portion extending to a position different from a position of a second extended portion of the first substrate to allow the first terminal region and the second terminal region to be away from each other in a direction intersecting with an extending direction of the third extended portion and to not overlap with each other in the thickness direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2018Publication date: June 27, 2019Applicant: SEIKO EPSON CORPORATIONInventors: Jun HIRAI, Toru AOKI, Shuko YANAGISAWA, Shinta ENAMI

Patent number: 10199001Abstract: An increase in power consumption is suppressed even in a case of applying a precharge signal to all data lines at the same time. A voltage output selection circuit that is connected to a data line drive circuit in an input stage and is connected to data lines in an output stage is provided. The voltage output selection circuit selects connection and non-connection between the data lines and the data line drive circuit when a precharge voltage is applied. A control circuit controls the voltage output selection circuit such that connection between the data lines and the data line drive circuit is selected in a first region in which an image is displayed, and non-connection between the data lines and the data line drive circuit is selected in a second region covered with a light shielding layer.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2017Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: SEIKO EPSON CORPORATIONInventor: Shinta Enami

Publication number: 20140176414Abstract: In an electro-optical device including pixels 48, one frame image includes a first field image and a second field image, in a scanning signal forming the first field image, a clock signal CLY switches from a high potential to a low potential during the selection state period, and in a scanning signal forming the second field image, the clock signal CLY switches from a low potential to a high potential during the selection state period. Since the switching direction of the clock signal CLY is opposite between the first field image and the second field image, it is possible to cancel out influence of the clock signal switching in the first field image and the second field image, and the image quality improves.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2013Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicant: Seiko Epson CorporationInventor: Shinta Enami
