Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal cell assembly comprising: a first substrate member on which at least first electrodes are formed in each of a plurality of cell regions, the cell regions being arranged to respectively correspond to liquid crystal cells and to be adjacent to each other; a second substrate member on which, for each of the cell regions, at least a second electrode is formed to oppose the first electrodes formed in the cell region; frame-like seal members which are arranged between the first and second substrate members, are formed into frames that respectively define the cell regions, and bond the first and second substrate members, wherein adjacent frame-like seal members have common sides formed by continuously linking at least two adjacent sides of the adjacent frame-like seal members; cross electrodes which are formed on the first substrate member at positions of the adjacent cell regions which are outside the frame-like seal members and are close to each other via boundaries of the adjacent cell regions; cross connecting portions connected to the second electrodes, wherein the cross connecting portions are formed on the second substrate member at positions of the adjacent cell regions which are outside the frame-like seal members, are close to each other via the boundaries of the adjacent cell regions, and correspond to the cross electrodes formed on the first substrate member; and common cross members which are integrally formed, between the first and second substrate members at positions where the cross electrodes and the cross connecting portions of the adjacent cell regions oppose each other, wherein the common cross members extend across the boundaries of the adjacent cell regions, and are arranged to electrically connect the cross electrodes and the cross connecting portions of the respective cell regions.
