Abstract
An electro-optical device according to the present disclosure includes an insulating base having translucency and insulating properties, a pixel electrode disposed apart from the insulating base, and a switching element electrically coupled to the pixel electrode. The insulating base includes a base portion, and a lens portion that is located between the base portion and the pixel electrode and includes a lens overlapping the pixel electrode in plan view when viewed from a thickness direction of the pixel electrode. The base portion and the lens are disposed with a space therebetween.

An electro-optical device, comprising:
- an insulating base having translucency and insulating properties;
- a pixel electrode disposed apart from the insulating base;
- and
- a switching element electrically coupled to the pixel electrode, wherein
- the insulating base includes
- a base portion, and
- a lens portion that is located between the base portion and the pixel electrode and includes a lens overlapping the pixel electrode in plan view when viewed from a thickness direction of the pixel electrode,
- the base portion and the lens are disposed with a space therebetween,
- the lens portion includes a through hole that communicates with the space, and
- the insulating base further includes a translucent layer that is disposed at the lens portion, is disposed to fill the through hole, and has translucency and insulating properties.
A method for manufacturing an electro-optical device, comprising:
- forming an insulating base having translucency and insulating properties;
- forming a switching element at the insulating base;
- and
- forming a pixel electrode electrically coupled to the switching element, wherein
- the formation of the insulating base includes forming a base portion and a lens portion with a space therebetween, the lens portion being located between the base portion and the pixel electrode and including a lens overlapping the pixel electrode in plan view when viewed from a thickness direction of the pixel electrode;
- the formation of the lens portion includes forming a through hole of the lens portion, the through hole communicating with the space, and
- formation of the insulating base further includes forming a translucent layer that is disposed at the lens portion, is disposed to fill the through hole, and has translucency and insulating properties.
