Abstract: The liquid crystal display device has a structure having substrates 200 and 300 adhered to each other by a sealing material 110 with a predetermined gap therebetween and having liquid crystal 160 enclosed in the gap. On an opposing surface of the substrate 200, transparent electrodes 214 are formed, and on an opposing surface of the substrate 300, segment electrodes 314 are formed. The common electrodes 214 are connected to wiring 350 formed on the substrate 300 via conductive particles 114 mixed in the sealing material 110, and the wiring 350 are each a laminated film of a transparent conductive film 354 composed of the same conductive layer as that of the segment electrode 314 and a low-resistance conductive film 352 composed of a low-resistance material, such as chromium, having a resistance lower than that of the transparent conductive film 354. However, the low-resistance conductive film 352 is formed at an area other than the portion connecting with the conductive particles 114.

Abstract: In a display device 100, a reflective polarizer 110, a polarizer 120, a retarder 130, a liquid crystal panel 140, a polarizer 150, and a backlight 160 are disposed sequentially from the viewing side. When the liquid crystal panel 140 is set in a light blocking state or the backlight 160 is set in an unlit state, the reflection of an outside light “O” turns the display screen into a mirror state. When the backlight 160 is set in a lit state to drive the liquid crystal panel 140, a transmitted light “T” allows a particular display screen to be visually recognized.

The liquid crystal device has a reflecting conductive film 18 formed on the first substrate 2, a light transmitting metal oxide film 19 laminated on the reflective conductive film 18 so that the edges 34 thereof are in contact with an underlying film 35 or the first substrate 2, and an illumination device 25 for irradiating the liquid crystal 23 with light from outside the first substrate 2. Since the edges are present around the reflective conductive film 18, the area of a light reflecting region contributing to reflection is not changed even when the position of the reflective conductive film 18 is deviated in the transverse direction.

Abstract: A liquid crystal device 1, that is, an electrooptic device, has a second electrode 11 provided so as to oppose a first electrode 10, and a liquid crystal provided between the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 11. This liquid crystal device 1 further has a first substrate 2 on which the first electrode 10 is provided and a wire 14 which is formed on the first substrate 2 and is electrically connected to the second electrode 11 at a conduction position 4a. Since the wire 14 extends inside the conduction position 4a, the picture frame region that is outside a sealing material 4 can be decreased.

Abstract: A liquid crystal device has a configuration including substrates 200 and 300 bonded to each other with a sealant 110 and a liquid crystal 160 enclosed in the gap therebetween. Common electrodes 214 are provided on the inner face of the substrate 200, whereas an underlying film 301, a reflective film 302 composed of a silver alloy, a protective film 303 covering the reflective film 302, and segment electrodes 314 are provided on the inner face of the backside substrate 300. Since the protective film 303 suppresses the crystal grain growth of the reflective film 302 at a high-temperature treatment, a decrease in reflectance is avoided. A lead 350 comprises a laminate of a reflective conductive film 352 having a crystal grain size which is larger than that of the reflective film 302 and a transparent conductive film 354 which is formed by patterning the same layer as the segment electrode 314.

Abstract: A liquid crystal device capable of input operations comprising a liquid crystal panel 2 and an input unit 4 stacked thereon. The input unit 4 has a front-side substrate 8a lying at a front side and a back-side substrate 8b opposing the front-side substrate 8a. The liquid crystal panel 2 has a first substrate 22a lying at the front side and a second substrate 22b lying at the back side. Since the front-side substrate 8a and the back-side substrate 8b of the input unit 4 are flexible, the input unit 4 is thin and lightweight. Since the second substrate 22b of the liquid crystal panel 2 is flexible, the formation of a distortion pattern in the liquid crystal device is prevented when pressing operation of the input unit 4 is performed.
