A portion of the element substrate 10 protruding outwardly from the counter substrate 20 is provided with a terminal portion 10a in which a plurality of external coupling terminals 101 are arrayed. A flexible circuit board (FPC) 102 for making electrical coupling with external driving circuits is mounted on the terminal portion 10a. A driving IC 103 relating to driving of the liquid crystal device 100 is mounted on the FPC 102. The FPC 102 is electrically coupled to the plurality of external coupling terminals 101, for example, by interposing an anisotropic conductive film (ACF).
Hereinafter, the direction X represents a direction in which the external coupling terminals 101 are arrayed in the terminal portion 10a of the element substrate 10, and the direction Y represents a direction perpendicular to the direction X on the same plane. In addition, the direction Z represents a direction perpendicular to the direction X and the direction Y and oriented from the element substrate 10 side toward the counter substrate 20 side. Furthermore, the “in plan view” or “planar manner” means that viewing is performed in a direction opposite to the direction Z, in other words, from the counter substrate 20 side toward the element substrate 10 side. In this exemplary embodiment, pixels P are arranged in the display region E1 in a matrix shape in the direction X and the direction Y.
