Abstract
A liquid crystal device including a base member that is transmissive, a pixel electrode that is transmissive, a first insulator that is transmissive and that is disposed between the base member and the pixel electrode, and a second insulator that is transmissive and that surrounds and abuts the first insulator in a plan view from a thickness direction of the base member. The first insulator includes a first portion having a refractive index higher than a refractive index of the second insulator, and a second portion positioned between the base member and the first portion and having a refractive index lower than the refractive index of the first portion and higher than the refractive index of the second insulator.
Claims8
A liquid crystal device comprising:
- a base member that is transmissive;
- a pixel electrode that is transmissive;
- a first insulator that is transmissive and that is disposed between the base member and the pixel electrode;
- a second insulator that is transmissive and that, in a plan view from a thickness direction of the base member, surrounds the first insulator and abuts the first insulator, and
- a third insulator that is transmissive and that is disposed between the first insulator and the pixel electrode,
- wherein
- the first insulator includes
- a first portion having a refractive index higher than a refractive index of the second insulator,
- a second portion positioned between the base member and the first portion, the second portion having a refractive index lower than the refractive index of the first portion and higher than the refractive index of the second insulator, and
- a third portion positioned on the third insulator side of the first portion, the third portion having a refractive index lower than the refractive index of the first portion and higher than the refractive index of the second insulator.
