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 insulating layers on the first and second substrates,
• dispersing adhesive beads over the insulating layer surface formed on one of the first and second substrates,
• disposing a sealing agent having a prescribed pattern on the insulating layer surface formed on one of the first or second substrates,
• dispersing spacer beads over the insulating layer formed on the other substrate having thereon no adhesive beads,
• adhesively bonding the first and second substrate to each other while fixing said one of the first and second substrates over which the adhesive beads are dispersed so as to direct a dispersion face of the adhesive beads upward,
• 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.
