Electro-optical device and electronic apparatus

An electro-optical device comprising:

• an electro-optical panel including an electro-optical material;
• a flexible wiring board mounted on the electro-optical panel;
• an illumination device for radiating visible light onto the electra-optical panel;
• and
• a metal frame assembly including first and second frames, each being formed of a metal material, the first and second frames being directly connected to each other with the electro-optical panel, the flexible wiring board, and the illumination device supported therebetween,
• wherein the first frame is positioned on the electro-optical panel and has a display window formed therein, and the second frame is positioned on the illumination device,
• each of the first and second frames including a planar lower surface and side surfaces extending away from the planar lower surface,
• the first frame and the second frame being connected such that the first frame and the second frame directly overlap each other and the side surfaces of the second frame are positioned outside of the side surfaces of the first frame,
• the second frame being divided into at least two separate components, the at least two separate components including a first component and a second component, the first component being coupled to the first frame with the electro-optical panel and the illumination device supported therebetween, the first component and the first frame forming a frame sub-assembly, the flexible wiring board being disposed outside of the frame sub-assembly, the second component being coupled to the first frame with the electro-optical panel, the flexible wiring board, and the illumination device supported therebetween.
