Abstract
The invention concerns preventing the occurrence of breakage or short-circuiting caused by spacer members among wires made of conductive layers laminated on one substrate that holds an electro-optical material in an electro-optical apparatus. The electro-optical apparatus may include an electro-optical material provided in a region surrounded by a sealing unit between a pair of substrates, along with a conductive layer laminated on one of the pair of substrates. The sealing unit may be divided into a part having a spacer member and a part not having the spacer member, and the wiring made of the conductive layer, is provided between the part not having the spacer member of the sealing unit and the substrate.
Claims28
An electro-optical apparatus, comprising:
- an electro-optical material provided in a region surrounded by a sealing unit between a pair of substrates;
- a conductive layer laminated on one of the pair of substrates, the sealing unit including a part having a spacer member and a part not having the spacer member, and a part of the sealing unit not having the spacer member being provided in a region in which wiring, made of the conductive layer on the one of the substrates, faces the sealing unit, wherein the wiring comprises a plurality of conductive lines in the region defined by the part of the sealing unit not having the spacer member.
A method for manufacturing an electro-optical apparatus including one substrate having a conductive layer laminated thereon, and the other substrate, being bonded with a sealing unit including a part having a spacer member and a part not having a spacer member, the method comprising:
- forming the sealing unit provided so that a part of the sealing unit not having the spacer member is provided in a region on the substrate in which wiring, made of the conductive layer, faces the sealing unit, wherein the wiring comprises a plurality of conductive lines in the region defined by the part of the sealing unit not having the spacer member.
