  • Patent number: 8917373
    Abstract: An electro-optical device may include a first substrate, a second substrate, a photo-curable seal member between the first substrate and the second substrate, a first light-shielding layer between the first substrate and the photo-curable seal member, and a second light-shielding layer between the first substrate and the first light-shielding layer. The first substrate may include a pixel area in which pixels are aligned, and a seal region around the pixel area and in which the photo-curable seal member is provided. Within the seal region, the second light-shielding layer may be larger in an outer shape or pattern than the shape or pattern of first light-shielding layer. The pixel area may include an interconnect layer made of the same layer as the one of the light-shielding layers, and the interconnect layer may be narrower than one of the light-shielding layers.

  • Publication number: 20140313448
    Abstract: A liquid crystal device includes a first dummy pixel and a second dummy pixel adjacent to each other in an X direction, in which width of a first portion of a scanning line between a first transistor of the first dummy pixel and a second transistor of the second dummy pixel is larger than width of a second portion of the scanning line between the second transistor and a third transistor of a pixel.

  • Patent number: 8654283
    Abstract: An electro-optical device includes a pair of substrates bonded together via a seal member disposed in a seal region, and a plurality of light-shielding layers formed so as to overlap with each other on one of the substrates, and one of the plurality of light-shielding layers is larger in outer shape than another light-shielding layer formed at a level higher than the one of the light-shielding layer, in plan view from above the one of the substrates.

  • Patent number: 8405994
    Abstract: A heat dissipating member is formed so as to be opposed to a reflection type liquid crystal panel. The heat dissipating member includes a heat receiving portion that is opposed to a reflection type light modulation element and has a heat receiving surface for receiving heat from the element, a heat dissipating fin that dissipates heat received on the heat receiving portion to the outside. The heat receiving portion has heat receiving convexes which project to the side at which the element is arranged from the heat receiving surface, and the convexes are formed such that ratios of areas of tip surfaces of the heat receiving convexes with respect to a unit area are larger on a center portion of a heat reception acceleration region rather than on an end of the heat reception acceleration region.

  • Publication number: 20120099031
    Abstract: A projector includes a plurality of reflective liquid crystal panels (for example, a red liquid crystal panel, a green liquid crystal panel, and a blue liquid crystal panel). The film thickness of an ITO film that forms a common electrode of the blue liquid crystal panel is smaller than the film thickness of an ITO film that forms a common electrode of any one of the red liquid crystal panel and the green liquid crystal panel. The film thicknesses of the ITO films that form the common electrodes of the red liquid crystal panel and the green liquid crystal panel are the same.
