Liquid crystal device, process for producing same and liquid crystal apparatus

A process for producing a liquid crystal device, comprising the steps of:

• forming on a first insulating substrate a light-interrupting layer, a color filter comprising plural color filter segments, a coating layer, a barrier layer, a transparent electrode, an auxiliary electrode, a short-circuit prevention layer, a roughened surface-forming layer, and an insulating layer in succession in this order,
• forming on a second insulating substrate a transparent electrode, an auxiliary electrode, a short-circuit prevention layer, a roughened surface-forming layer, and an insulating layer in succession in this order,
• rubbing the surface of each of the alignment layers on the first and second substrates, dispersing adhesive beads over the alignment layer surface formed on the first substrate or the second substrate,
• disposing a sealing agent having a prescribed pattern on the insulating layer surface formed on the second substrate or the first substrate,
• dispersing spacer beads over the insulating layer surface provided with the sealing agent,
• adhesively bonding the first and second substrate to each other while fixing the first or second substrate over which the adhesive beads are dispersed,
• scribing the first and second substrates to remove an unnecessary portion,
• injecting a chiral smectic liquid crystal from an injection port into a gap between the first and second substrates, and
• sealing up the injection port.

A color liquid crystal display apparatus, including:

• a liquid crystal device, comprising:
• a pair of oppositely disposed first and second substrates each provided with a group of transparent electrodes in the form of stripes, and a liquid crystal layer comprising a chiral smectic liquid crystal disposed together with spacer beads between the pair of substrates, the first substrate having thereon a color filter comprising plural color filter segments and a coating layer, wherein the transparent electrodes on the second substrate have a width smaller than that of the transparent electrodes on the first substrate,
• scanning signal supply means for supplying scanning signals to the transparent electrodes on the first substrate, and
• data signal supply means for supplying data signals including an interval at a prescribed temperature or below to the transparent electrodes on the second substrate, each of the data signals corresponding to each of color filter segments of the color filter.
