  • Liquid crystal panel, method for producing liquid crystal panel, and electronic apparatus
    Patent number: 7548298
    Abstract: A liquid crystal panel includes: a pair of substrates; inorganic oriented films having plural fine pores being provided on surfaces of the substrates facing each other; a liquid crystal layer being provided between the inorganic oriented films; and a sealing part sealing the liquid crystal layer, the sealing part being provided between the inorganic oriented films and along an outer periphery of the inorganic oriented films, the liquid crystal panel further including a filling material including a compound having a first functional group having high affinity with the inorganic oriented films and a second functional group having high affinity with the sealing part, the filling material being filled in an area of the inorganic oriented films overlapping the sealing part to fill the fine pores and to covers surfaces of the inorganic oriented films.

  • Liquid crystal device, electro-optical device, projector, and micro-device
    Publication number: 20070030436
    Abstract: A liquid crystal device includes: a first substrate; a second substrate opposed to the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer placed between the first substrate and the second substrate; a sealing member sealing the liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate; a mold member provided between the first substrate and the second substrate so as to cover an outer periphery of the sealing member; and a first irregular portion formed, on at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate, over an entire region on which the mold member is arranged, wherein the mold member is provided on the first irregular portion.
