Abstract:
1. An electro-optical device comprising: a pair of substrates; a sealing material in the form of a frame provided between the pair of substrates; an electro-optical material sandwiched between the pair of substrates and formed within the frame provided between the pair of substrates; an electrode disposed on one of the pair of substrates; an inorganic alignment layer disposed on the one of the pair of substrates and formed between the electrode and the electro-optical material so as to be enclosed within the frame provided between the pair of substrates; and a heat-dissipating layer disposed between the electrode and the inorganic alignment layer disposed on the one of the pair of substrates, the heat-dissipating layer completely enclosing the electrode, and wherein the heat-dissipating layer has a thickness of less than 20 nanometers, and wherein a product of a thickness of the heat-dissipating layer and a thermal conductivity of the heat-dissipating layer is larger than twice a product of a thickness of the inorganic alignment layer and a thermal conductivity of the inorganic alignment layer, wherein the sealing material is formed on an upper surface of the heat-disspating layer such that the electrode is not enclosed in the frame of the sealing material, the electrode having an island shape and being disposed completely within the frame in plan view, while the heat-dissipating layer extends beyond each side of the frame of the sealing material.
