Summary:In an image device according to the invention, one end of a panel having a pixel section is extended and an external connection board connected to the extended portion, and first and second integrated circuits, each containing a driving circuit for the panel, are mounted on at least either the extended portion or the external connection board and are arranged one behind the other along a direction directed from the external connection board toward the panel. Input wiring lines for the second integrated circuit mounted nearer to the panel are passed under the first integrated circuit mounted farther from the panel, and are then connected to the second integrated circuit. Alternatively, output wiring lines from the first integrated circuit mounted farther from the panel are routed into the panel by being passed under the integrated circuit mounted nearer to the panel. This serves to greatly reduce the top plan size of the image device because the panel driving integrated circuits and the external connection board can be arranged collectively on one side of the panel.
