Abstract
A liquid crystal device 1, that is, an electrooptic device, has a second electrode 11 provided so as to oppose a first electrode 10, and a liquid crystal provided between the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 11. This liquid crystal device 1 further has a first substrate 2 on which the first electrode 10 is provided and a wire 14 which is formed on the first substrate 2 and is electrically connected to the second electrode 11 at a conduction position 4a. Since the wire 14 extends inside the conduction position 4a, the picture frame region that is outside a sealing material 4 can be decreased.
