Abstract:
A reflective electrooptic device, comprising:at least one substrate; an electrooptic material held by the substrate; an insulating film; a pixel switching active element which is composed of at least one conductive film, which is provided in each pixel on the substrate, and which is electrically connected to at least one wire composed of a conductive film; a light reflection film provided in each pixel on the substrate; an irregularity-forming layer provided in a region under the light reflection film to form a predetermined irregular pattern on a surface of the light reflection film; and at least one step-eliminating film formed in each pixel to substantially eliminate a height difference formed by the presence of the conductive film forming the active element, the step-eliminating film being provided in a region under the irregularity-forming layer and formed in a predetermined pattern shaped to compensate for a height difference caused by a region where the height of the conductive film forming the active element is different than the regions where the step-eliminating film is located, the step-eliminating film being composed of at least one of the conductive film forming the wire, the conductive film forming the active element, and the insulating film.
