An electro-optical device includes a plurality of digital scanning lines, a digital signal line, and a plurality of pixel circuits. Each of the pixel circuits includes a light emitting element and a digital driving circuit. The digital driving circuit performs digital driving to turn the light emitting element ON-state or OFF-state based on a grayscale value.
