Abstract: In a pair of substrates which sandwich a liquid crystal therebetween, a substrate 2a for a liquid crystal device that is positioned opposite from the viewing side. A pixel electrode 9 is formed on the surface of a base 6a as a light reflecting film. A pattern in which a plurality of convexities 10c are arranged is formed on the surface of the light reflecting film 9. These convexities 10c are formed into rectangular dome shapes such that the spatial shape thereof that extends along one axis of the two orthogonal X, Y axes that pass through said convexities themselves is different from the spatial shape thereof along the other axis. The light reflecting film 9 achieves both light directivity and light scattering.

Abstract: Reflective display and transmissive display are performed by driving liquid crystal in a predetermined area (region b) in a non-crossing region by using an oblique electric field. Light passed through the region b when a voltage is applied is shaded since the liquid crystal in the region b is driven. Accordingly, at a position of a second substrate 2b corresponding to the region b, it is not necessary to provide a shading film 22. Consequently, a line width S1 of the shading film 22 can be designed to be smaller compared to that of a conventional one, and hence, a high aperture ratio can be obtained.

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: This present invention provides a liquid-crystal panel that presents a high-density wiring while maintaining reliability of the wiring. Odd-numbered scanning lines are connected to a first wiring group while even-numbered scanning lines are connected to a second wiring group. Each of the scanning lines is supplied with a scanning signal the polarity of which is inverted every horizontal scanning period. Among wirings forming the first wiring group and the second wiring group, a line-to-line voltage between any adjacent wirings becomes zero volt for a majority of the time. Accordingly, degradation of the wirings due to electrolytic corrosion is controlled even if the spacing between the wirings is narrowed.
