Abstract:
A translucent reflection type electro-optic device that includes, on a substrate that holds an electro-optic material:a concavity and convexity formation layer made of a first light transmitting material formed in a predetermined pattern; a top layer insulating film made of a second light transmitting material formed on a top layer side of the concavity and convexity formation layer; a light reflection film formed on a top layer side of the top layer insulating film; a light transmitting electrode formed on a top layer or a bottom layer of the light reflection film at a top layer side of the top layer insulating film; a light transmission window that is partially formed in the light reflection film, the light transmission window being plurally formed at positions each of which overlaps with at least part of a plurality of convexities that the concavity and convexity formation layer forms, or with at least part of a plurality of concavities; and each of the first light transmitting material and the second light transmitting material having a refractive index that endows an interface between the concavity and convexity formation layer and the top layer insulating film with a lens function that refracts a light entered from a back surface side of the substrate toward the light transmission window.
