1. An electro-optical device comprising:
a panel including a first substrate, a second substrate provided above the first substrate, and an electro-optical layer formed between the first substrate and the second substrate, the panel having a display region;
a transparent region provided inside the display region in a plan view;
a frame region provided between the transparent region and the display region in the plan view;
a cover member provided above the second substrate of the panel so as to overlap with the transparent region in the plan view;
a backlight unit provided below the first substrate of the panel so as not to overlap with the transparent region in the plan view; and
a bezel provided below the backlight unit so as not to overlap with the transparent region in the plan view,
wherein the bezel includes a bottom portion configured to cover a lower side of the backlight unit, a side portion provided on a lateral side of the backlight unit in the frame region, and an upper portion bonded to the panel via a first adhesive layer in the frame region,
a width of the upper portion of the bezel is larger than a width of the side portion of the bezel in the plan view,
a hole is formed in the panel so as to penetrate the first substrate, the electro-optical layer, and the second substrate in a part of the frame region and the transparent region,
a light-blocking film is formed between the first substrate and the second substrate in the frame region,
the cover member is provided above the panel having the hole, and
the electro-optical device further comprising a third adhesive layer bonded to each of the bezel and the cover member so as to cover each lateral side of the upper portion of the bezel, the first adhesive layer, and the panel in the frame region.
