Abstract:
1. An electro-optical device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; an electro-optical material disposed between the first and second substrates; a prismatic portion that collects light incident on the first substrate, the prismatic portion being in the form of a groove, the groove including a pair of inclined surfaces being formed in a surface of the first substrate, the surface being adjacent to the electro-optical material, an intersection of the pair of inclined surfaces defining an acute angle such that the acute angle opens towards the electro-optical material; a functional layer that drives the electro-optical material, the functional layer being formed on the surface of the first substrate and the functional layer directly contacting and covering the first substrate and covering the opening of the groove of the prismatic portion, wherein the functional layer is substantially uniformly transparent and does not protrude into the first substrate, the groove of the prismatic portion and the electro-optical material; and a light-shielding portion disposed on the second substrate, the light-shielding portion overlapping the prismatic portion when viewed in plan.
