Electro-optical device and electronic apparatus

An electro-optical device, comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a second substrate bonded to the first substrate;
• a liquid crystal layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate;
• a third substrate provided on an opposite side of the first substrate from the liquid crystal layer;
• and
• a frame configured to house the first substrate, the second substrate, and the third substrate, wherein
• the frame includes an abutment surface directly contacting and abutting on a second surface of the third substrate that faces toward the liquid crystal layer,
• the third substrate is larger than the first substrate, and
• the third substrate and the frame are bonded to each other via an adhesive layer disposed between a side surface of the third substrate and an inner wall of the frame.
