  • Patent number: 6473147
    Abstract: Regarding a liquid crystal device having a structure in which electrodes formed on a pair of substrates are subjected to conductive connection using a conductive member, the outer dimensions can be reduced despite the use of the conductive member, and a complicated pattern design including cross wiring and the like can be employed for the electrode patterns formed on the pair of substrates. A liquid crystal device is formed by joining a first substrate 2a comprising first electrodes 7a and external joining elements 8 and a second substrate 2b comprising second electrodes 7b by an annular sealing member 3. The sealing member 3 includes a conductive section 3b having the function of conductive connection and a non-conductive section 3a having no function of conductive connection, and the second electrodes 7b on the second substrate 2b are individually subjected to conductive connection to the terminals 8 on the first substrate 2a via the conductive section 3b of the sealing member 3.

  • Patent number: 4895432
    Abstract: A display device including a pair of opposed substrates at least one of which is transparent with a display medium layer therebetween, and a transparent electrode arranged on the internal surface of the transparent substrate is provided. The thickness of the transparent electrode is about ((5500.times.N)/(2.times.n)).ANG. wherein N is a natural number and n represents the refractive index thereof. When a transparent insulating film is formed on the transparent electrode, the thickness of the transparent insulating film is about ((5500.times.N)/(2.times.m)).ANG. wherein N is a natural number and m represents the refractive index thereof. When the refractive index of n.sub.1 of the transparent insulating film is substantially equal to the refractive index n.sub.2 of the transparent electrode, the value, 2.times.(n.sub.1 .times.d.sub.1 +n.sub.2 .times.d.sub.2) equals about (5500.times.N).ANG. wherein N is a natural number, d.sub.1 represents the thickness of the transparent insulating film and d.sub.
