Abstract:
1. A method for fabricating an electro-optical device which comprises a pair of substrates including a first substrate and a second substrate, a liquid crystal enclosed between the pair of substrates, and a plurality of pixels formed in a matrix disposed within said pair of substrates, said first substrate including a lens array substrate, said method comprising: forming a plurality of convex microlenses with one microlens corresponding to each of said plurality of pixels on said lens array substrate; forming a step portion substantially equal in height to said microlenses throughout a periphery of said first substrate; adhering a transparent cover to said lens array substrate with an adhesive to cover said microlenses and said step portion, wherein the adhesive over the step portion is a thin layer, the thin layer includes a height that is less than the height of the adhesive over an inter lens positions adjacent to ones of the microlenses; forming a sealing material of photo curing resin, the width of the step portion being greater than a maximum width of the sealing material; superposing the first substrate on the second substrate to face said step portion with the sealing material therebetween, the periphery of the first substrate completely overlapping the sealing material; and curing said sealing material while pressing said first substrate on the second substrate, wherein the curing is performed by emitting light to said sealing material through said step portion.
