An electro-optical device includes a plurality of pixels arranged on a substrate. Each of the pixels includes a plurality of EL light-emitting elements that are disposed on the substrate and are connected in series. Each of the EL light-emitting elements includes a first electrode, a luminescent layer, and a second electrode that are disposed in a thickness direction of the substrate, and each of the EL light-emitting elements has a characteristic of emitting light in response both to a forward applied voltage and to a reverse applied voltage. The first electrodes or the second electrodes of neighboring EL light-emitting elements of the plurality of EL light-emitting elements are coupled to each other, so that the plurality of EL light-emitting elements are connected in series.
