Electro-optical device and electronic apparatus

Abstract

An electro-optical device includes a plurality of first electrodes that are disposed to correspond to intersections of a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of data lines, a second electrode that is provided to face the first electrodes, an electro-optical material that is interposed between the first electrodes and the second electrode, and switching elements that control the potential of each of the first electrodes. The potential of the second electrode alternately changes, and a positive-polarity video signal and a negative-polarity video signal are alternately written into the individual first electrodes for each predetermined period via the electro-optical material. For the plurality of data lines, each of which supplies a video signal to each first electrode, a writing auxiliary circuit is partially provided so as to discharge electric charges accumulated in the data lines.
