  • Patent number: 10859814
    Abstract: In an electro-optical device, a mirror that is formed on an element substrate is sealed by a frame shaped spacer and a plate-like light-transmitting cover which is adhered to the spacer. An inorganic barrier layer is formed on an outer face of the spacer and a side face of the light-transmitting cover, and the boundary of the spacer and the light-transmitting cover is covered by the inorganic barrier layer.

  • Patent number: 10156779
    Abstract: In an electro-optical device, a light-transmitting cover is disposed in mirrors, and when light is applied toward the mirrors through the light-transmitting cover, the temperature of the light-transmitting cover tires to increase due to the applied light. Here, in the electro-optical device, first metal portions that are in contact with the light-transmitting cover and the element substrate are formed. For this reason, it is possible to release the heat of the light-transmitting cover to a substrate through the first metal portions and the element substrate.

  • Patent number: 10054787
    Abstract: In an electro-optical device, a mirror and the like which is formed on an element substrate is sealed using a sealing member. The sealing member is provided with a frame section and a cover section. In addition, the sealing member is provided on one face of the element substrate so that the mirror is surrounded by the element substrate and the sealing member and such that the mirror is positioned between a portion of the cover section and the element substrate. The sealing member is formed of a light-transmitting member having a frame section and a cover section which are integrally formed, and there is no interface between the frame section and the cover section.
